This study aimed to investigate the short-term outcomes of three endovenous procedures in patients with varicose veins and severe iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS). A total of 158 consecutive patients were included in this multicenter retrospective study; 54 patients underwent endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) alone, 47 patients underwent EVLA and balloon angioplasty (BA), and 57 patients underwent EVLA and stenting angioplasty (SA). Incidence of laser ablation complications was similar among the three procedures; closure rates of the great sa-phenous vein were 96.8%, 98.0%, and 98.4%, respectively, at 12 months. The VCSS and AVVQ values were signi ﬁ cantly improved post-procedure. The EVLA and BA procedures (stenosis >70%) caused a signi ﬁ cantly higher symptom recurrence than the SA procedure. The authors conclude that EVLA and SA procedures relieve symptoms, improve the quality of life, and decrease symptom recurrence in patients with varicose veins and severe IVCS (stenosis >70%).
