520 |a Constant evolution in techniques to treat varicose veins has been driven by the need for: better patient comfort, reduced side effects and the desire for better and longer-lasting clinical results. New developments towards foam sclerotherapy (FS) warrant questions regarding their clinical and economic evidence. The purpose of this review is therefore to compare the available evidence on FS for patient with varicose veins compared with alternative treatment modalities (i.e., surgery, endovascular thermal ablation, or liquid sclerotherapy) in terms of their comparative clinical effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness, and evidence-based guidelines
