Comparing two ways to treat varicose veins with radiofrequency
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether treating nearby varicose veins at the same time as the main vein is as safe and effective as treating them in a separate procedure later. It aims to reduce the number of treatments you might need.
