下肢静脉曲张(lower extremity varicose veins)指涉及下肢浅静脉伸长、迂曲而成曲张状态。不仅仅是一种美学问题,表现更严重的静脉功能障碍时会升级为症状性疾病,在持久站立工作、体力活动强度高、久坐、老年和肥胖人群多见。这对患者的生活质量造成了很大的影响。同时,给人们和整个医疗保健系统带来了巨大的经济负担。而微波消融术是相对比较新的一种热消融技术,具有疗效好、安全性高、恢复快等诸多优点。此篇综述主要总结目前微波消融术治疗下肢静脉曲张临床应用的进展。Lower extremity varicose veins refer to the condition where the superficial veins of the lower limbs become elongated and tortuous, leading to a varicose state. It is not merely an aesthetic issue;when it manifests as more severe venous dysfunction, it can escalate into a symptomatic disease. It is more commonly seen in individuals who stand for long periods, engage in high-intensity physical activities, sit for extended durations, the elderly, and those who are obese. This condition significantly impacts the quality of life of patients and poses a substantial economic burden on individuals and the entire healthcare system. Microwave ablation is a relatively new thermal ablation technique that offers numerous advantages such as good efficacy, high safety, and rapid recovery. This review primarily summarizes the current progress in the clinical application of microwave ablation for the treatment of lower extremity varicose veins.
