Interventions on the Superficial Venous System for Chronic Venous Insufficiency by Surgeons in the Modern Era: An Analysis of ACS-NSQIP

Conclusions:
The OSVV, obesity, and VU increase the odds of sSSI after procedures treating CVI. Patients in these categories should be monitored closely for signs of infection in the perioperative period. Patients undergoing EVA have higher odds of postoperative DVT, suggesting that routine screening after EVA for DVT may be justified.
