Finalization on June 5, 2018 of the study on the treatment of varicose veins by echotherapy

Intermediate Outcomes: Safety and Effectiveness

The study was conducted by Dr. Alfred Obermayer Vascular Surgeon at St. Joseph's Hospital in Vienna and Director of the Karl Landsteiner Institute for Functional Phlebology in Melk who states: "We are satisfied with the clinical results. We did echototherapy on patients who had already been treated with other techniques, without success. The encouraging results we have seen with echotherapy suggest that we have identified a relevant alternative to current solutions. "

Benefits of echotherapy compared to existing methods

Existing methods, even if some are minimally invasive, have disadvantages, mainly related to the fact that they require incisions: a sterile surgical block and anesthesia - or even a general anesthesia - are mandatory. These acts are delicate to perform, a large surgical experience is required, which makes them extremely dependent on the experience of operators. Side effects such as pigmentation, inflammation, nerve damage or induration are also sometimes observed. The patient who has just been treated is absolutely not autonomous and requires postoperative assistance. So many disadvantages that echotherapy is exonerated. This technique has the potential to respond to the shortcomings of existing methods.
