Comparison of 12-W Versus 14-W Endovenous Laser Ablation in the Treatment of Great Saphenous Varicose Veins: 5-Year Outcomes From a Randomized Controlled Trial

Conclusion: Late outcomes following EVLA were superior for the 14W continuous power settings achieving better long term venous occlusion and lowered recurrence rates without increasing post-operative morbidity. Hence 14W continuous setting should be the energy delivery mode of choice.
