Scientific titleA double-blind randomised controlled trial comparing porcine dermal collagen patch saphenoplasty with conventional saphenofermoral ligation to prevent recurrent saphenofemoral incompetence
Study objectivesThe study aims to compare the use of porcine dermal collagen patch saphenoplasty with standard saphenofemoral flush ligation in primary and recurrent varicose vein surgery. Post-operative subjective and objective measures of presence and severity of varicosity recurrence shall be compared. This shall be the first study to establish the efficacy of Permacolâ„¢ in this setting, and shall use the following endpoints to test the given null hypothesis.
Ethics approval(s)MREC approved, ref: 06/Q1105/27
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Generic Health Relevance and Cross Cutting Themes; Subtopic: Generic Health Relevance (all Subtopics); Disease: Surgery
Intervention1. Imaging investigations (non-radiation): Patients need to undergo a handheld Doppler ultrasound examination of the saphenofemoral junction to document the presence of radiologically apparent recurrence.
2. Other examinations: Patients shall be clinically examined for evidence of recurrent varicose veins
3. Questionnaire: A research nurse assessor, blinded to the technique used, shall administer a questionnaire at 1 and 5 years follow-up
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure50% reduction in the clinical presence of recurrence at 5 years.
Secondary outcome measures1. Annual clinical recurrence rates
2. Local complication rate - fistula, haematoma, groin wound infection
3. Radiographically demonstrable recurrence rates at 1 year and 5 years
4. Serious adverse event rates
5. 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) and EUROQOL questionnaire scores
6. Visual analogue pain scores
