Fig 1 Preoperative clinical mapping shows the limb divided in 32 zones. Example shows seven zones to be treated for varices. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2009 50, 107-118DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2008.12.067) Copyright © 2009 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier analysis shows the presence of nonsignificant saphenous reflux (reflux duration <0.5 seconds) after ambulatory selective varices ablation under local anesthesia. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals at each time point.

Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier analysis shows for presence of dramatically reduced saphenous reflux (reflux duration <0.5 seconds or postoperative reflux duration <50% preoperative reflux duration) after ambulatory selective varices ablation under local anesthesia. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals at each time point.

Fig 4 Kaplan-Meier analysis shows for symptoms relief after ambulatory selective varices ablation under local anesthesia. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals at each time point.

Fig 5 Kaplan-Meier analysis shows for esthetic improvement after ambulatory selective varices ablation under local anesthesia. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals at each time point.

Fig 6 Kaplan-Meier analysis shows for freedom of recurrence of varices after ambulatory selective varices ablation under local anesthesia. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals at each time point.

Fig 7 Kaplan-Meier analysis shows for secondary major intervention (surgical procedure or foam echo-guided sclerotherapy) after ambulatory selective varices ablation under local anesthesia. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals at each time point.
