Overview
Brief Summary
Through a prospective RCT evaluate and compare the three new endovenous methods for great saphenous vein ablation (Radiofrequency, endovenous laser and foam sclerotherapy) versus high ligation and stripping. Procedure (proof-of-concept) and patient related (clinical outcome) factors will be studied.

- •Signature of informed consent.
- •Varicose veins and duplex verified GSV incompetence defined as \>0,5 seconds reflux time after manual compression in upright position 60 degrees.
- •Vein size \<20 mm in upright position 60 degrees, 2 cm below the SFJ.
- •Minimum distance between skin and the GSV in the first 20 cm from the SFJ \> 5mm.
- •CEAP classification C2-C5
Exclusion Criteria
- •Non-consent for randomisation.
- •Age \<18 years.
- •Age \>75 years.
- •Deep vein insufficiency in the same extremity (duplex verified).
- •Vein size \>20mm in upright position 60 degrees below the SFJ.
- •Meander and superficial veins with a distance of \<5mm to the skin surface ( RF or Laser cannot be applied).
- •Patients with double GSV's and/or lateral accessory insufficient branch.
- •Patients with cognitive disturbances, dementia or unable to understand for any reason the importance of follow up.
- •Earlier operation with HL/S (recurrency).
