Endovenous laser ablation: Venous outcomes and thrombotic complications are independent of the presence of deep venous insufficiency  Brian S. Knipp, MD, Susan A. Blackburn, RN, MBA, Jess R. Bloom, RVT, Elaine Fellows, NP, William LaForge, RN, John R. Pfeifer, MD, David M. Williams, MD, Thomas W. Wakefield, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 48, Issue 6, Pages 1538-1545 (December 2008) DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2008.07.052 Copyright © 2008 Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 No difference was identified in duration of vessel occlusion in limbs with deep venous insufficiency (DVI) compared with limbs without DVI (P = .117). Journal of Vascular Surgery 2008 48, 1538-1545DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2008.07.052) Copyright © 2008 Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 Box and whisker plots show that by fixed-effects modeling, the presence of deep venous insufficiency (DVI) had no effect on the rate of total venous clinical severity scores (VCSS) improvement (P = .572). The horizontal line in the middle of each box indicates the median; the top and bottom borders of the box mark the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively. The whiskers mark the 90th and 10th percentiles. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2008 48, 1538-1545DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2008.07.052) Copyright © 2008 Terms and Conditions

Fig 3 Box and whisker plots show that by using fixed-effects modeling, there was significantly less improvement (P = .04) of venous clinical severity scores (VCSS) in limbs with complete vessel recanalization compared with vessels that remained occluded. The horizontal line in the middle of each box indicates the median; the top and bottom borders of the box mark the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively. The whiskers mark the 90th and 10th percentiles. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2008 48, 1538-1545DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2008.07.052) Copyright © 2008 Terms and Conditions
