Adaptation to chronic diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), depends on the effectiveness of coping. Objective To assess the psychometric properties of the Coping Responses Inventory (CRI-A) in persons with MS (PwMS), verifying the transferability of the measure, already validated in the Argentine general population, and to describe the types of coping strategies available for PwMS. Methods 90 PwMS were included. Outcome measures CRI-A Inventory, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Beck Depression Inventory, Fatigue Severity Scale and MS International Quality of Life questionnaire. Results Descriptive data is as follows mean age (years) 40.97 ± 12.85; years of education 13.46 ± 3.93; EDSS 2.48 ± 1.79; disease evolution (years) 10.76 ± 9.72; depression 13.92 ± 10.45; fatigue 3.77 ± 1.72. The psychometric properties of the CRI-A Inventory observed in the Argentine general population are present in the MS sample as well, with adequate validity and reliability. The respondents most frequently utilized a problem-focused coping style. Conclusions Results showed the CRI-A has good transferability properties from the Argentine general population to the MS population.Endovenous thermal ablation is a first-line treatment for symptomatic varicose veins due to truncal vein reflux. Ablation of an incompetent great saphenous vein is usually performed from distally, with the vein access at the lowest point of reflux, or just below the knee. Occasionally there are patients in whom the great saphenous vein is difficult to access distally for reasons such as small vein diameter, scar tissue, vasospasm, difficult anatomy or multiple attempts with haematoma formation. In such cases, we access the great saphenous vein in a retrograde fashion by percutaneous cannulation of the superficial inferior epigastric vein, passing the
