Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) undergoing Endovenous Laser Ablation of a primary or recurrent saphenous vein as part of routine care, able to complete questionnaires in French.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients in whom the procedure is not feasible or who have conditions that exclude participation may not experience benefit from study participation.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter observational study to describe patient satisfaction, safety, and outcomes after endovenous laser ablation of the saphenous veins performed under local anesthesia. It includes adult patients receiving routine care for primary or recurrent saphenous vein disease outside the operating theater. Data will be collected from multiple centers in Paris, using the Venous Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire to gauge patient perspectives, along with safety and efficacy observations. No experimental interventions beyond standard laser treatment are planned, and participants must be able to complete questionnaires in French.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could provide insight into patient-perceived satisfaction and real-world safety of this treatment approach.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work in similar endovenous laser procedures supports feasibility and positive patient-reported satisfaction in real-world settings.
