Reverse Regulatory Pathway (H2S / PGE2 / MMP) in Human Aortic Aneurysm and Saphenous Vein Varicosity
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a mediator with demonstrated protective effects for the cardiovascular system. On the other hand, prostaglandin (PG)E2 is involved in vascular wall remodeling by regulating matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities. We tested the hypothesis that endogenous H2S may modulate PGE2, MMP-1 activity and endogenous tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMP-1/-2). This regulatory pathwa...
The aim of this study is to measure the level of both the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme and its substrate, superoxide radicals, in the wall of varicose veins. A total of 44 vein specimens were collected from 24 patients who underwent surgery for varicose veins at Asir Central Hospital (ACH), Abha, Saudi Arabia during the period from October 1999 to November 2000. The patients were 4 males a...
Evidence exists that cutaneous microvascular endothelial dysfunction persists in patients following varicose vein surgery. This study compared cutaneous microvascular function between post-surgical varicose vein patients and healthy controls and investigated whether any impairment of function can be attenuated by acute lower-limb exercise. Cutaneous flux responses of the gaiter area were measur...
Purpose: This review study pays attention to motive forces that influence the return of venous blood and venous hemodynamics in the lower extremity, deals with the occurrence and hemodynamic consequences of saphenous reflux, assesses the pathogenic significance of calf perforators and femoral and popliteal vein incompetence, and explains the term hemodynamic paradox. Method: Information gained ...
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and adverse effects of endovenous foam sclerotherapy (EFS) and liquid sclerotherapy (ELS) using a microcatheter for the treatment of varicose tributaries. MATERIALS AND METHODS From December 2007 to January 2009, patients with venous reflux in the saphenous vein were enrolled. The foam or liquid sclerosant was injected through a microcatheter just before endo...
Preoperative venous duplex scanning has revealed unexpected deep venous incompetence in patients with apparently only varicose veins. Acting on the hypothesis that the deep vein reflux was secondary to deep vein dilation caused by reflux volume, the following was done. Between July 1990 and April 1993, 29 limbs in 21 patients (16 females) were examined by color-flow duplex imaging to determine ...
Adams disease is the consequence of overly active transient receptor potential cation channels (TRP). This case report presents a patient suffering from multiple vascular problems and may provide new insights into the causes of venous problems. Endothelial and smooth muscle cells in veins contain TRP. These channels when activated excessively result in calcium accumulation, oxygen radical forma...
Risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism: a population-based case-control study.
BACKGROUND Reported risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) vary widely, and the magnitude and independence of each are uncertain. OBJECTIVES To identify independent risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and to estimate the magnitude of risk for each. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a population-based, nested, case-control study of 625 Olmsted County, Minnesot...
OBJECTIVE The theory of primary venous dilatation leading to secondary valvular incompetence and varicose vein formation has received more attention nowadays. Although many studies have investigated the role of the main components of the venous wall in the development of varicose veins, the leading cause remains unknown. The present study was designed to establish the role of smooth muscle cell...
INTRODUCTION Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) of varicose veins is a useful treatment option. It is a relatively safe method in the case of limited, small varicose veins. In theory, a justified concern could be raised that the injection of an active drug into the large superficial venous vessels may potentially cause life-threatening consequences. AIM To assess the safety and effic...
