What is Endovenous Thermal Ablation of Superficial Truncal Veins and Compression Therapy Result in Symptom Relief in Venous Valve Aplasia about?

Venous valve aplasia (or valvular rarefication) is a rare cause of chronic venous insufficiency. In the present report, we have described the case of a 33-year-old man with severe symmetric lower leg edema and heaviness and pain in both lower legs. Duplex ultrasound demonstrated severe venous insufficiency in the superficial and deep venous system of both legs. Further imaging examinations supported the diagnosis of venous valvular aplasia. Treatment consisted of endovenous thermal ablation of the great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein as well as consistent compression therapy, resulting in a marked reduction of his leg edema, heaviness, and pain.
