Blood thinners and bleeding risk after varicose vein treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking blood thinners (antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs) affects bleeding and vein closure after a minimally invasive procedure for varicose veins. It may help doctors understand if it's safe to continue these medications during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have varicose veins in your legs.
- You are planning to have or have had a procedure called radiofrequency ablation for your varicose veins.
- You either take a daily blood thinner (like aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin, or similar) or you do not take any blood thinners.
- You are willing to come back for a check-up at 30 days and 6 months after the procedure.
- You do not have other serious medical conditions that might affect your safety or ability to complete the study.
