Fig 1 Consort flow. aIf there was a procedure failure, patients were treated with ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS), and data analysis was on an intention-to-treat basis. bPatients who did not receive treatment or received another treatment or were lost to follow-up in the first year were excluded from the analysis.

Fig 2 Complete obliteration after 12 months. The proportion of legs that had complete obliteration or absence of the great saphenous vein (GSV) after treatment was significantly different between endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS), and conventional surgery (CS) (P < .02).

Fig 3 Repeated measurement analysis for CEAP and quality-of-life scores A, Thirteen patients with missing CEAP scores were excluded. B, Fourteen patients with missing Chronic Venous Insufficiency Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ) scores and 24 patients with different bilateral randomized treatment were excluded. C and D, Twenty-four patients with missing EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D)/health scores and 24 patients with different bilateral randomized treatment were excluded.
