Abstract :
Endovenous laser therapy (ELT) was introduced in clinical practice as a therapy for incompetent veins about ten years ago. One characteristic of ELT is the broad spectrum of different treatment protocols by means of a variety of laser systems as well as manifold application forms and dosimetry concepts which are under investigations.
