Fig 1 Diameters of 254 great saphenous veins (GSV) before study treatment and its later fibrotic stages during follow-up as measured 3 cm below the saphenofemoral junction. Numbers of evaluable GSVs decreased to 112 at 36 months. Data are given as average ± standard error (green) and standard deviation (light blue) as well as median (horizontal line) with 25% and 75% quantiles (red box).

Fig 2 A, Time-to-flow analysis shows any flow within the treated vein, according to Kaplan-Meier methods. Numbers in the lower line indicate legs at risk at a given follow-up time. B, Time-to-reflux analysis, indicating any reflux within the treated vein, regardless if clinically relevant or not, is shown according to the method of Kaplan and Meier. Numbers in the lower line indicate legs at risk at a given follow-up time. Standard errors were <0.1 at all times.
