Foam Sclerotherapy: A Textbook is a comprehensive advanced text reviewing the entire field of foam sclerotherapy and its application to the treatment of chronic venous disorders. For the clinician actively participating in the treatment of chronic venous disease, the book functions as a manual in how to utilize Foam Sclerotherapy as a treatment option, as well as providing an excellent overview of the current and historical literature in the field.

The advent of foam sclerotherapy has been one of the most important developments in the field of phlebology. Just as surgery has evolved into more minimal invasion, so has the treatment of varicose veins. Foam sclerotherapy is quick, efficient, easy to use and inexpensive, and is widely believed to become the dominant form of therapy for varicose veins.

Foam Sclerotherapy: A Textbook explores the key role of foam in the treatment of venous insufficiency, provides authoritative and comprehensive information and examines the advantages and drawbacks of this method in detail. Written by experts from four continents, the book is divided into three sections: Theory, Practice, and Special Considerations, and includes chapters on:

• The history of scleroscant foams
• Legal guidelines
• Ultrasound guidance
• Studies on safety
• Treatment of venous malformations

Foam Sclerotherapy: A Textbook is an essential textbook for all phlebologists, general surgeons, vascular surgeons, dermatologists, family physicians and gynaecologists who treat varicose veins, either full time or occasionally.
