title: Practical phlebology. Sclerotherapy of large veins.
abstract: A practical, step-by-step guide for the sclerotherapy of large varicose veins is offered. First, an orientation regarding the place of sclerotherapy and surgery in the total treatment of varicose veins is given, with a practical clinical classification of varicose veins. This is followed by a detailed discussion of patient education before sclerotherapy, material to be used with recommended concentrations, injection technique, compression after sclerotherapy, instructions to the patient after injection, and procedures at subsequent visits.
