OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of class II (23-32 mm Hg) compression stockings on the edema of the ankle in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), and to assess the relationship between the microvascular phenomenon and the volume of the leg.
METHODS
11 patients (19 limbs, 5 women and 6
The review presents data on the causes and pathogenesis of lower extremity (LE) edemas with special emphasis on the edemas occurring in chronic LE venous insufficiency. It discusses the possibilities of noninvasive and surgical treatments for LE edemas in venous insufficiency. Particular attention
In the treatment of protein-rich edema surgical venous insufficiency, manual maximization of lymphatic drainage, manual maximization of the edema apophoresis according to Asdonk (1, 2, 3) and Bartetzko (5) is an effective therapy when it is appropriately combined with the physiotherapy, medication
This study was undertaken to assess the biomedical and socioeconomic rationale of edema control in disabling chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). In this 15-year retrospective survey (1974 through 1988) edema control was achieved by use of Unna's boot for leg ulcerations and by compressive hosiery
OBJECTIVE
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) induces alterations that cause fibrosclerotic edema of the subcutaneous tissue. This study examined the effects of a complex naturopathic compound with vasoactive and antiedema activities (Lymdiaral®) administered intradermally.
METHODS

OBJECTIVE
The aim of this work was to compare the reduction in edema obtained in the conservative treatment of phlebopathies after resting and after performing a muscle exercise program in the Trendelenburg position.
METHODS
Twenty-eight limbs of 24 patients with venous edema of distinct etiologies
The author characterizes the edema as an important quantitative objective measure of severity for chronic venous diseases in both early and advanced stages. The problems of edema assessment methods and the importance of its management in clinical practice are discussed. The results of studies on the
One of the goals of compression therapy is to enhance healing of a venous leg ulcer. This goal is accomplished by improving venous return and reducing lower extremity edema.
