Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) showed no clear difference in technical success (< 5 years) compared with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) (moderate certainty).
It is very uncertain whether endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) changes long‐term recurrence (> 5 years) compared with ultrasound‐guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) (very low certainty).
