title: [Foam echosclerotherapy for trunk varicositas].
abstract: Foam echosclerotherapy is increasingly being used for the treatment of trunk varicositas because of its minimally invasive character and its high success rate in the occlusion of varicose veins. To achieve a better understanding of treatment and to standardize it, a consensus meeting was organised by experts. Based on their clinical experiences and on data from the literature, a Dutch guideline was drawn up which offers guidance on the treatment of trunk varicositas with foam echosclerotherapy and an overview of this new technique for both specialists and general practitioners.
