title: [Endovenous therapy for varicose veins of the lower extremities].
abstract: Endovenous treatment for varicose veins of the lower extremities is an old technique. New technologies such as radiofrequency and laser have revived its indications. Thermal energy which is delivered to the vein wall results in a fibrous retraction and eventually complete obstruction of the vessel.
