Dermato Surg 2001; 27 : 117-122 FIRST PUBLICATION OF RADIOFREQUENCY : FIRST PUBLICATION OF RADIOFREQUENCY By :Chandler JG Title :Treatment of primary venous insufficiency by endovenous saphenous vein obliteration . J Vasc Surg 2000; 34: 201-1 HERE WE HAVE : HERE WE HAVE Two new techniques developed at the same time and technology pushing both of them What happened ? US Varicose Vein Procedures (000) : Sources: Millennium Research Group, Nov 2005 & MedTech Insight, Oct 7, 2005 US Varicose Vein Procedures (000) SURG RF LASER What is the best wavelength 2009 ? : What is the best wavelength 2009 ? Does it matters ? Yes It means more effective in less time with less tissue damage WHAT IS AVAILABLE WAVE LENGTHS : WHAT IS AVAILABLE WAVE LENGTHS 1064nm DROPPED 810nm DROPPED 940nm 980nm NEW 1320 NEW 1470 the best so far HOW EVLT WORKS : 9 INTERACTION GEOMETRY HOW EVLT WORKS Tissue Ablation : Tissue Ablation 10 C – 45 C: Conformation change of proteins 50 C: Reduction of enzyme activity 60 C: Denaturation 100 C: Water vaporizes Thermal damage LASER ABSORPTION : : LASER ABSORPTION : Laser Diode 980 nm : optimum wave lengh : Laser Diode 980 nm : optimum wave lengh DIODE 980 - 1470 : DIODE 980 - 1470 WHAT IS NEW IN LASER FIBERS : : WHAT IS NEW IN LASER FIBERS : Does fiber matters ? Yes Better fiber cover more area in less time with less complications and less pain STANDARD LASER CATHETER : 15 STANDARD LASER CATHETER STANDARD LASER FIBERS : STANDARD LASER FIBERS OPTICAL FIBER 600 u 1- Bare fiber : 1- Bare fiber 2-Jacket tip versus bare tip : 2-Jacket tip versus bare tip 3-New 360 degree fiber : 3-New 360 degree fiber Pain score : Pain score EVOLUTION OF POST-OP PAIN : EVOLUTION OF POST-OP PAIN INDICATIONS FOR EVLT : 22 INDICATIONS FOR EVLT Varicose vein (with or without SF-SP junction insufficiency) Truncal varicose veins Large branch veins Large tributaries All veins that are not extremely tortous Perforator veins insufficiency CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR EVLT : 23 CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR EVLT Active thrombophlebitis or DVT Infection or inflamation area intended to be treated Febrile state POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS : 24 POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS Bruising, Soreness (up to 3 – 5 days), Nonspecific inflamatory response (thermal effect), Skin burn, Infection, Oedema, Discoloration, Paresthesia, Erythema, Vein perforation, Thrombophlebitis or DVT TREATMENT PARAMETERS USED FOR EVLT WITH FOTONA XP-2 : 25 TREATMENT PARAMETERS USED FOR EVLT WITH FOTONA XP-2 CALCULATION OF LASER : CALCULATION OF LASER Minimum Energy /cm = 10 joules /cm /diameter in mm of vein to be treated (Controversies in varicose desease Paris january 2007) Calculate the energy before beginning : Calculate the energy before beginning Minimum energy : SFJ : 12 mm x 10 = 120 joules/cm Thigh: 6mm x 10 = 60 joules /cm Length to be treated 40 cm 60 joules x 40 cm = 2400 joules Endolaser : Endolaser DISAVANTAGES Different wavelengths Energy dose By your own Dependant on pullback speed ADVANTAGES Efficient : more than 95% Adapt energy according size of the vein Adapt energy according depth of the vein Less painful less ecchymosis with 360 and 1470 nm EBM on Endo-Laser : EBM on Endo-Laser Currently 82 articles have been published in English (68) and French (14) on RF obliteration and EVLT for treating varicose veins. Nineteen of them compared RF versus EVLT but no RCT. Seven compared RF versus HL + Stripping +/Stab Avulsion including 4 RCT One compared RF, EVL, L+stripping Slide 30: So this is laser Any thing new : Any thing new Yes Veins Profitable Business : Veins Profitable Business Revenues close to $50 million in 2011 Gross margin of 80% Independent investment report suggests a $350 million revenue business “mechanically enhanced endovenous chemical ablation”MEECA : “mechanically enhanced endovenous chemical ablation”MEECA Small-caliber infusion catheter used to increase the effectiveness of a sclerosing agent by delivering the agent to the vein wall while simultaneously inducing spasm and irritating and destroying the endothelium to ablate diseased veins in place in a few minutes.
