In a cohort of patients undergoing endothermal ablation for chronic venous insufficiency, those with concomitant lipedema had worse baseline CIVIQ-20 quality-of-life scores (median 61.0 vs 46.0, p=0.001) and significantly smaller post-procedure improvement (4.0 vs 13.5 points, p=0.012); lipedema was an independent predictor of worse postoperative CIVIQ-20 (β=12.44, p<0.001), and venous symptoms attributable to lipedema remained unchanged by venous intervention.
