varicose veins/edema

The aim of this open study was the evaluation of the effects of HR (Venoruton) at a dose of 1 g/day on the prevention and control of flight microangiopathy and edema in subjects with varicose veins and moderate chronic venous insufficiency flying for more than 11 hours. Patients with varicose veins,

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have reported small intestinal lesions in patients with portal hypertensive disease. However, the etiology of these lesions is not clear, as portal venous pressure was not measured in any of these studies. The aim of this study is to clarify the association between small

BACKGROUND Edema is a common condition in most venous and lymphatic diseases. The ACI edema testers (ET) have been developed to objectively evaluate the presence of edema. Two types of testers have been developed. ET1 is a soft plastic plate (5 x 2 cm) characterised by two parallel protrusions while

Budd-Chiari syndrome presents with ascites, edema and bleeding from esophageal varices. Presentation as bleeding scrotal varices is rare. We report a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome who presented with recurrent bleeding from scrotal varices for 20 years.

Objective To analyze the outcomes of 119 (188 feet) patients undergoing foot varicose vein phlebectomy with and without sclerotherapy between 2013 and 2015. Methods Legs and feet were treated in one single procedure. Clinical and ultrasound assessments were carried out at 7, 30, and 90 days for

Twenty-five rabbits with esophageal varices were randomized to no treatment (n = 10) or endoscopic paravenous sclerotherapy of the varices (n = 15). Five other rabbits served as sham-operated controls. When they were killed, the mechanical strength and collagen content of the esophagus were

An intracranial varix is rare and has been associated mostly with vein of Galen fistulae or arteriovenous (AV) malformations. The authors present eight cases of intracranial, pial or subpial AV fistulae with concomitant giant varices. Six were supratentorial and two were infratentorial. Only one

In order to investigate the possibility of lymphatic disruption occurring during varicose vein surgery, lymphangiography performed by a modification of the Kinmonth technique was done in seven patients before and after standard surgical ablation of primary varicose veins. All seven patients

The involvement of the microvascular structure in chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) causes venous hypertensive microangiopathy (VHM), which leads to venous ulceration. VHM is characterized by enlarged and ramified capillaries, increased flux and capillary permeability, edema, and altered function

Epidemiological investigations in German-speaking countries have covered over 14,000 people. Chronic venous insufficiency (edema, dermal alteration) was found in 13% and extensive varicosis in 15%. Thus, nearly 30% must be regarded as afflicted with varicose veins. The major pathophysiology, the
