Registry to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of VenaBlock VeIn SEaling System for VaRicose Veins in SingApore (RIVIERA)
October 29, 2020 updated by: Singapore General Hospital
To assess the efficacy of the Venablock©Vein Sealing System (VBVS) for the treatment of lower extremity superficial truncal veins in a real-world clinical setting in a multi-racial Asian population in Singapore.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The purpose of the Registry to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Venablock©Vein Sealing System for Varicose Veins in Singapore (RIVERIA), is to investigate the performance of cyanoacrylate glue closure (CAC) using this device, in which multiple incompetent superficial saphenous truncal veins (great saphenous (GSV), short saphenous vein (SSV), anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) will be treated at the same setting, and compression stockings will not be used post-operatively.
The inclusion criteria for this study will be liberalized, and veins up to 12mm in diameter will be treated.
As such,RIVIERA will be the first prospective trial conducted in Asia on a predominantly Asian cohort of patients to report on the performance of Venablock© for blocking incompetent truncal veins.
This study specifically focuses on the initial technical outcomes, safety, anatomical occlusion, and patient experience after treatment with Venablock© with broader inclusion of patients than previous caucasian based trials.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Occlusion of treated vein post-procedure
Time Frame: Immediately post-op
|
Immediately post-op
|
|
Change in anatomy of treated vessel
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
Anatomical Success as measured at each timepoint using ultrasound to ensure occlusion of treated vessel.
Recurrence or treatment failure will be defined as a re-opening of a segment > 5cm in length.
|
2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Quality of Life Score using the Chronic Venous Insufficiency Questionnaire (CIVIQ)
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
CIVIQ is a questionnaire based on three dimensions - pain, physical and psychological, based on a scale from 1 to 5 (no trouble, slight, moderate, considerable, severe).
Based on inputs, Global Index Score (GIS) will be tabulated, ranging for 0 to 100 - the higher the value, the poorer the quality of life.
|
2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
Clinical Change using Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS)
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
VCSS evaluates the severity of hallmarks of venous disease - 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe).
|
2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
Pain Score
Time Frame: First 10 days post-procedure
|
Using a numerical rating scale, which ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain)
|
First 10 days post-procedure
|
Occlusion rates
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
Duplex ultrasound performed at specific timepoints to ensure that treated vein is occluded
|
2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
Quality of Life Score using the EQ-5D questionnaire
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
EQ5D is used to assess quality of life based on Mobility, Self-Care, Usual Activities, Pain/Discomfort and Anxiety, rated at 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, unable to perform activity.
Inputs from this questionnaire is used to observe for changes in quality of life overtime.
The higher the score, the better the quality of life is.
|
2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
Quality of Life score using the Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire (AVVQ)
Time Frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
To measure health status of varicose veins patients based on symptoms and impact on daily activities.
A total score ranging from 0 to 100 will be tabulated, with 100 being worst quality of life.
|
2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-procedure
|
Time taken to return to work and normal activities
Time Frame: Recorded 10 days post-procedure
|
Recorded 10 days post-procedure
