title: Simple system for perivenous tumescent infusion for endovenous laser ablation.
abstract: The use of a simplified system for perivenous infusion of tumescent fluid prior to endovenous laser ablation is described. Two infusion bag systems using different combinations of needle sizes (22, 23 and 25 gauge) and pressure settings (300 and 600 mmHg) as well as hand injections were tested in vivo. The technique is simple, safe and may lead to quicker infusion, reduction in hand fatigue and reduced cost.
