Results Patients and physicians agreed in reduction of symptoms after intervention with one or more complaints still present in 128 (93{\%}) patients according to Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire compared to the Danish Clinical Vein Database with only 64 (47{\%}) patients. Patients reported cosmetic complaints and teleangiectasies both before and after treatment (p < 0.001) more often than doctors.
