Institute of Health Economics (IHE): IHE Systematic Reviews [Internet].
This report is an evidence assessment of the best available research evidence on the safety and effectiveness, cost effectiveness and budget impact of using Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) or Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) in the management of symptomatic varicose veins of the legs due to venous reflux in working age patients when compared to conventional open surgery.
It also describes the nature varicose veins with venous reflux, the available clinical practice guidelines regarding the management of the condition, as well as the technologies currently being delivered in Alberta to treat the condition and the available system capacity for delivery of the technologies being assessed.
