Overview
Brief Summary
To assess the efficacy of the Venablock©Vein Sealing System (VBVS) for the treatment of lower extremity superficial truncal veins in a real-world clinical setting in a multi-racial Asian population in Singapore.
Detailed Description
The purpose of the Registry to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Venablock©Vein Sealing System for Varicose Veins in Singapore (RIVERIA), is to investigate the performance of cyanoacrylate glue closure (CAC) using this device, in which multiple incompetent superficial saphenous truncal veins (great saphenous (GSV), short saphenous vein (SSV), anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) will be treated at the same setting, and compression stockings will not be used post-operatively. The inclusion criteria for this study will be liberalized, and veins up to 12mm in diameter will be treated. As such,RIVIERA will be the first prospective trial conducted in Asia on a predominantly Asian cohort of patients to report on the performance of Venablock© for blocking incompetent truncal veins. This study specifically focuses on the initial technical outcomes, safety, anatomical occlusion, and patient experience after treatment with Venablock© with broader inclusion of patients than previous caucasian based trials.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Occlusion of treated vein post-procedure
Time Frame: Immediately post-op
Change in anatomy of treated vessel
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
Anatomical Success as measured at each timepoint using ultrasound to ensure occlusion of treated vessel. Recurrence or treatment failure will be defined as a re-opening of a segment \> 5cm in length.
Secondary Outcomes
- Clinical Change using Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS)(2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure)
- Time taken to return to work and normal activities(Recorded 10 days post-procedure)
- Occlusion rates(2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure)
- Patient satisfaction with treatment: survey(2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure)
- Quality of Life Score using the Chronic Venous Insufficiency Questionnaire (CIVIQ)(2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure)
- Quality of Life score using the Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire (AVVQ)(2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure)
- Pain Score(First 10 days post-procedure)
- Cost effectiveness of the intervention(12 months post-procedure)
- Quality of Life Score using the EQ-5D questionnaire(2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure)
