Trial Outcomes & Findings for ClosureFAST - Radiofrequency Great Saphenous Vein Treatment (NCT NCT00842296)

NCT ID: NCT00842296

Last Updated: 2018-03-12

Results Overview

Defined as the absence of flow in the treated vein as documented on the post-procedure and follow-up Duplex Ultrasound (DU) scan. Flow which originates in the Saphenofemoral Junction (SFJ) and which measures \< 3 cm in length, does not constitute a failure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline thru 5 years

Status of clinical signs and symptoms of lower limb venous disease evaluated using standardized scales and subject responses to post-procedure standardized questions - VCSS Status from Baseline to 5 years. VCSS assesses 10 factors of venous disease whereby each factor is graded on a severity scale of 0-3 (least to worst). The higher the VCSS score the most severe the clinical signs and symptoms of venous disease are in a patient. VCSS improvement over time is presented by a decrease in VCSS total score (maximum score = 30; minimum score = 0).
