The aim of this study is to evaluate the variable accessory saphenous vein (ASV) anatomy at the sapheno-femoral junction (SFJ) as a possible risk factor for recurrent varicose vein (RVV) after great saphenous vein (GSV) radiofrequency thermal ablation (RTA). METHODS Two-hundred consecutive patients affected by chronic venous disease (mean age 52.4±10.3 years; 187 women; CEAP 2-6; 25.2±1.4), underwent to RTA from 2014 to 2016, at our Institute. Preoperatively all patients underwent duplex-ultrasound scanning, reporting the anatomical site, extention of reflux and the ASV anatomy at the SFJ. Duplex ultrasound and physical examination was performed post-operatively at 1, 6 and 12 months, and yearly after. RESULTS Patients were divided in two groups based on the anatomical site of reflux group A (n=187) including GSV and SFJ, group B (n=82) including SFJ reflux. There was no preoperative statistical difference between the two groups. At a mean follow-up of 29.7±2.4 months, a freedom from recurrent varicose vein and GSV recanalization was 100% and 100% at 1-month, 95.9% and 99.1% at 1-year, 93.7% and 96.7% at 3-year, respectively. An higher rate of RVV was documented for patients in group A at 3-year of follow-up (p=.042). Cox regression analysis found, among five potential predictors of outcome, that direct confluence of ASV in SFJ (HR 1.561; 95% CI 1.0-7.04; p= .032) was a negative predictors of 1-year RVV. CONCLUSIONS Sapheno-femoral junction morphology may affect recurrent varicose veins formation. In particular, a concomitant incompetence of the accessory saphenous vein or its directly confluence into the SFJ could represent an indication to simultaneous treatment by non-surgical techniques (RTA or laser) and avoid surgical ligation.BACKGROUND Prospective study to investigate the e
