Effect of Pullback Speed and the Distance between the Skin and Vein on the Performance of Endovenous Laser Treatment by Numerical Simulation

Introduction: Endovenous laser treatment (ELT) is a new treatment method for the reflux of the great saphenous vein. A successful ELT is dependent on the selection of optimum parameters required to achieve optimal vein damage while avoiding side effects including skin burns. The mathematical modelin...
