Review of randomized controlled trials comparing endovenous thermal and chemical ablation

Conclusion Based on the presented RCT's with caveats mentioned in the paper, the differences between modern open surgery and the new endovenous procedures are insignificant and no treatment modality can be recommended as superior to another. Nevertheless it is established that chemical ablation is the cheapest, but redo-treatment is more frequent related to recurrence.
