Indications We recommend sclerotherapy for all types of veins, in particular: Incompetent saphenous veins (GRADE 1A) Tributary varicose veins (GRADE 1B) Incompetent perforating veins (GRADE 1B) Reticular varicose veins (GRADE 1A) Telangiectasias (spider veins) (GRADE 1A)
Indications Residual and recurrent varicose veins after previous interventions (GRADE 1B) Varicose veins of pelvic origin (GRADE 1B) Varicose veins (refluxing veins) in proximity of leg ulcers (GRADE 1B) Venous malformations (GRADE 1B)
Specific (optimal) indications for foam sclerotherapy Isolated incompetent side branches (e.g. v. saph. access. ant.), reticular veins, refractory and/or large-diameter spider veins, telangiectasias, central veins of spider veins Partial incompetence of the GSV (max diameter 8 mm) and SSV of the side branch or perforans type incompetence of opening type with working valve on the outer pelvic level (iliac veins) or in the common femoral vein (prox. the SFJ) Recurrent varicosis (REVAT) varix rupture, spontaneous varix bleeding
SFJ= saphenous junction SSV = suprasaphenous valve TV = terminal valve PTV = preterminal valve M.Stücker: Vasomed 2011 Congress edition: in 48% TV sufficient and PTV insufficient = good indication for endoluminal procedure

Specific indications for foam sclerotherapy Isolated branch varicosis (e.g. v. saph. access. ant.), reticular veins, refractory and/or largecalibre spider veins, telangiectasias, central veins of spider veins Partial incompetence of the GSV and SSV of the side branch or perforans type (max. diameter 8 mm) GSV insufficiency of opening type with working valve on the outer pelvic level or in the common femoral vein Recurrent varicosis (REVAT) varix rupture, spontaneous varix bleeding Obesity Periulcerous varicosities (aged patient)
