Aim: Endovenous ablation methods are widely used in varicose vein treatment and will take place of classical surgery in future. The most common of these are laser and radiofrequency ablation. The use of cyanoacrylate in saphenous vein embolization is a new method that gained popularity in recent years. We aimed to present our early 6 months-results of patients treated with cyanoacrylate saphenous vein ablation and to measure the safety of cyanoacrylate. Materials and Methods: 318 symptomatic patients undergoing saphenous vein cyanoacrylate ablation were evaluated retrospectively from March 2015 to October 2016. Patients with at least 5 mm saphenous vein diameter and reflux of at least 0,5 sec on Duplex ultrasound at the level of saphenofemoral junction were enrolled in the study. Results: All patients were undergone by local anesthesia. No general anesthesia required. Each process took about 10 minutes and 30 minutes later the patients were discharged with elastic bandage provided that they were left for one day. Compression socks and any medical treatment were not recommended except patients with perforation vein failure. Thrombophlebitis occurred in 6 patients and this was improved by about 10 days of medical treatment. Six months later, Duplex ultrasound control was found to re-canalizedl saphenous vein in 16 patients. Patients were compared with VCSS (Venous Clinical Severity Score) and preop scores
