Pseudo-Kaposi sarcoma (PKS) or acroangiodermatitis is a benign angioproliferative disease which shares many clinical and histopathological features with Kaposi sarcoma. Clinical presentations include violaceous macules, papules or plaques in the lower extrimities, which is usually associated with chronic venous insufficiency or congenital or acquired arterio-venous malformations. Its pathogenes...

Chronic venous insufficiency.

Patients with chronic venous insufficiency arguably have been relegated to a standard of care that is lower than that for those with the more appealing entity of peripheral arterial disease. Fortunately, the collaboration of an expanding group of clinicians (including cardiologists and vascular medicine specialists) with vascular surgeons is stimulating a renewed interest in the management of p...

No evidence for impairment of venous hemodynamics in children or young adults with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency is a postulated etiologic factor for multiple sclerosis, but the higher frequency with longer disease duration and progressive disability suggests that chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency is secondary to chronic disease. We evaluated the presence of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency in pediatric-onset MS. MATERI...

Altered elastase-alpha1-antitrypsin balance in the blood of patients with chronic venous disease.

OBJECTIVES Although leukocyte elastase is suspected to be involved in the damage of vein wall during chronic venous disease, the equilibrium between this protease and its inhibitor, alpha1-antitrypsin, has not yet been evaluated. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between leukocyte elastase and alpha1-antitrypsin, in the blood of patients with chronic venous disease....

Genetic polymorphisms of vein wall remodeling in chronic venous disease: a narrative and systematic review.

Chronic venous disease encompasses a spectrum of disorders caused by an abnormal venous system. They include chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, lipodermatosclerosis, postthrombotic syndrome, and venous ulceration. Some evidence suggests a genetic predisposition to chronic venous disease from gene polymorphisms associated mainly with vein wall remodeling. The literature exploring thes...
