Anna Hospital of Catanzaro in 2005. In 2006 Dr. Baraldi perfected himself in the endovascular treatment of the VARICOSE VEINS with LASER.
In 2007 he was the first to carry out thermo-ablation operations on the large and small saphenous veins with LASER in Calabria and Eastern Sicily. In 2009, after perfecting with Dr. Francesco Zini and Dr. Lorenzo Tessari, he began to perform the Scleromousse according to the Tessari method first. In 2010, he publishes at the International Congress of the ESCVS (European Society of Cardiovascular Surgery) a scientific work on the personalization of the endovascular method with laser according to the caliber of the target vein.
In 2019 Dr. Baraldi was elected National Councilor of one of the most prestigious Phlebological Societies, the "Italian Society of Phlebo-Lymphology".

Safety and Efficacy of Combining Saphenous Endovenous Laser Ablation and Varicose Veins Foam Sclerotherapy: An Analysis on 5500 Procedures in Patients With Advance Chronic Venous Disease (C3-C6).
C. Baraldi, MD
Objective: endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) represents the gold standard in treating both great and small saphenous veins (GSV and SSV) incompetence. To achieve a “no-scalpel” procedure in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI, CEAP C3-C6), concomitant phlebectomies could be replaced by ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) into varicose tributaries. The aim of this study is to present a single-centre experience on EVLA + UGFS for patients with CVI secondary to varicose veins and saphenous trunk incompetence, analysing ling-term outcomes.

Endovenous laser ablation in treating perforating veins: technical notes and 1-year outcomes.
C. Baraldi, MD
Objective: endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) represents the gold standard in treating both great and small saphenous veins (GSV and SSV) incompetence, despite few data have been reported on perforating veins (PVs). The aim of this study is to collect PVs treatment outcomes after EVLA, highlighting technical notes and decision making for the treatment.
