Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare two therapeutic procedures in the treatment of isolated varicosis of the anterior accessory great saphenous vein (AAGSV): crossectomy and avulsion of the varicose AAGSV versus foam sclerotherapy of the AAGSV.
