title: [Our experience with Van Cleefs clips. Analysis of middle-term results].
abstract: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Van Cleef's intervention, performed in operating theater with a road mapping X-ray to document the procedure. Between January 1999 and April 2001, 35 patients and 38 legs were treated with our surgical technique. Mean follow-up was 42.6 months. The feasibility was excellent and the material well supported. The Authors conclude that the procedure, in selected subjects, may be an alternative to other surgical methods in the treatment of superficial venous disease.
