The cyanoacrylate closure (CAC) procedure is a safe and effective modality for the treatment of an incompetent saphenous vein. Thrombus extension into the deep vein, known as endovenous glue-induced thrombosis (EGIT), may be a worrisome complication of the procedure. However, the incidence, classification, and risk factors of EGIT have not been elucidated. We report, herein, the incidence, classification, and risk factors of EGIT following the CAC procedure for an incompetent saphenous vein.
