The Effect of Vacuum-assisted Closure on the Tissue Oxygenation of Venous Ulcers: A Pilot Study .
UNLABELLED Background. Vacuum-assisted closure (V.A.C.® Therapy, KCI, San Antonio, TX) has been widely used to increase the healing rate of a variety of wounds. It has been hypothesized that one of the actions of VAC is to increase perfusion and subsequent oxygenation of tissue. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of VAC therapy on transcutaneous oximetry measurements (T...
متن کاملThe use of growth factors, CD34(+) cells and fibrin for the management of chronic venous ulcers.
Chronic venous ulceration represents a very common event. Current standard treatment includes local wound care with the application of compression. We report the effects of platelet-rich plasma in patients with chronic venous ulcers, which is able to stimulate fibroblasts, macrophages and mesenchymal cells and growth factors in order to achieve re-epithelialisation and neovascularisation within...

The pain may be perceived as generalized in the leg, focused in the ulcer or periwound, or both. Inflammation and edema resulting from the underlying venous disease are key factors in the patient’s pain. Appropriate wound care combined with continuous use of com...
متن کاملVenous leg ulcers.
In 1837, Piorry, a French professor of medicine stated, "It is rather difficult to understand why the investigation of veins has been passed over almost in silence, while such a great diagnostic value has been attached to the investigation of arteries." Even today, our understanding of venous disease pales in comparison to our understanding of arterial disease. This is despite the fact that mil...
متن کاملChronic venous ulcers.
The prevalence of lower extremity ulceration secondary to chronic venous disease (CVD) in European and Western populations is estimated to be 0.5% to 1%.12 Approximately 12% to 14% of patients with CVD in recent series 3’4have venous ulcers (clinical classes C5 and C6). Despite the high prevalence and the significant morbidity of this problem, it has always been relatively neglected. Even curre...
