What is it about?
Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT, ELT) is a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided technique used for treating varicose veins using laser energy commonly performed by an interventional radiologist or vascular surgeon. Endovenous laser treatment is a treatment for varicose veins in which an optical fiber is inserted into the vein to be treated, and laser light, normally in the infrared portion of the spectrum, is shone into the interior of the vein. This causes the vein to contract, and the optical fiber is slowly withdrawn. This apps trains the surgeon to deploy the right amount of energy in surgery, avoiding bruising, nerve injury, cellulitis and deep venous thrombosis. It calculates the linear endovenous energy dose (LEED), pull speed, distance, energy and everything necessary to do a good surgery. More: https://software.amato.com.br/content/evltraining

Why is it important?
Pullback speed is the most important variable for endovenous laser surgery.
Perspectives
The EVLTraining software enables surgeons and staff to train the optical fiber pullback speed to be applied prior to surgery. You can download the app here: https://vascular.pro/content/evltraining

Caros amigos cirurgiões vasculares: Criei meu primeiro aplicativo para iPhone, EVLTraining, foi aceito na Apple Store. É um aplicativo para treino do uso do laser endovenoso no tratamento de varizes. Tem um intuito educacional, mostrando os tiversos tipos de medição de energia (J, J/cm, LEED, etc), e treinando o cirurgião na velocidade de tração da fibra ótica.
