Resumo

CANATA, Víctor et al. Mechanochemical intravenous ablation (MOCA) of saphenous vein with the Clarivein® Catheter. First experience at Centro Paraguayo de Varices (CEPAVA), Paraguay. Report of the first 3 cases. Cir. parag. [online]. 2022, vol.46, n.2, pp.22-24. ISSN 2307-0420.  https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2022.agosto.22.

Currently, thermal intravenous procedures are the procedures of choice to treat varices due to saphenous vein insufficiency. However, these techniques require tumescent anesthesia, which increases discomfort and pain during the procedure. In addition, heat causes postoperative discomfort and is associated with a risk of neurological and skin lesions.

Since mechanochemical ablation with the ClariVein® catheter does not use tumescent anesthesia or heat, it is associated with a low rate of pain during and after the procedure, less risk of neurological and skin lesions, and anatomical occlusions, and better rates on the severity and quality of life scales similar to those of thermal ablation techniques in the short term. We describe the results of the first three patients treated at Centro Paraguayo de Varices.

Palavras-chave : endovenous procedures; varicose veins; saphenous vein; chemical mechanical ablation; ClariVein catheter.
