METHODS: Complications of 382 CAC procedures performed by the same surgeon were reviewed retrospectively.
RESULTS: Independent of patients, depending on the payment system of the state; two hundred twenty-three (58.4%) of 382 procedures were performed using the Venex system, and the Variclose system was used in 159 (41.6%) patients. A phlebitis-like reaction occurred in 46 (12%) patients, induration in 18 (4.7%) patients, hyperpigmentation in five (1.3%) patients, abscesses in four (1%) patients, cellulitis in three (0.8%) patients, and granuloma in one (0.3%) patient. In addition, as serious complications, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) developed in three patients and pulmonary embolism in one of these patients. Interestingly, temporary blindness was also observed in one patient.
CONCLUSIONS: Although CAC therapy is a reliable method, its complications should not be ignored. Its use by experienced surgeons reduces the risk of complications.
