[The CHIVA cure of varices of the lower extremities. La Cure Conservatrice et Hemodynamique de l'Insuffisance Veineuse en Ambulatoire].
Presentation of the characteristics of this technique described by the French physician C. Franceschi, in 1988. Our Department began to apply this method on may 1991 and we are the first team in Spain to carry out and systematize this cure. Up to date, 85 patients have been treated with a residual vein percentage of 18%. Morbidity is low and slight. There is no mortality. This method is considered interesting as it does not require hospitalization, conserves the vein capital of the patient, and has low labour and health care costs.
