Fig 5 Top, Percent change in CEAP clinical score and class, venous clinical severity score (VCSS), and venous disability score (VDS), at 6 weeks after surgery. Patients were stratified according to CEAP clinical class. Bottom, Percent change in CEAP clinical score and class, VCSS, and VDS, at 6 months after surgery. Patients were stratified according to CEAP clinical class. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2003 38, 224-228DOI: (10.1016/S0741-5214(03)00323-9)
