Study of Foam Sclerotherapy Versus Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Sponsor: Imperial College London
Summary
This study will be comparing the treatment of varicose vein tributaries using either foam sclerotherapy or ambulatory phlebectomies.

The re-intervention rates, safety, patient experience as well as the cost effectiveness of each intervention will be assessed.
