We report a case of massive, life-threatening from a varicose lesion of the right lower extremity. An 81-year-old lady was brought to the emergency room at our hospital because of massive bleeding from her right leg. She had had high ligation of the right saphenous vein at another hospital 2 years ago. After hemostat and transfusion, she recovered from hemorrhagic shock. Three-dimensional enhan...

Introduction: Endovenous laser treatment (ELT) is a new treatment method for the reflux of the great saphenous vein. A successful ELT is dependent on the selection of optimum parameters required to achieve optimal vein damage while avoiding side effects including skin burns. The mathematical modeling of ELT can be used to understand the process of ELT. This study was conducted to examine the ef...

In this prospective design study the effects of low-energy partially focused extracorporeal generated shock waves (ESW) onto a subcutaneous located varicose vein - left vena saphena magna (VSM)- are investigated. The treatment consisted of 4 ESW applications within 21 days. The varicose VSM of both sides were removed by surgery, and samples analyzed comparing the treated and untreated by means ...

PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the feasibility and safety of the endovenous ambulatory selective varicose vein ablation under local anesthesia (eASVAL) method in a selected group of pa-tients with varicose disease and present the short-term results of one-year ultrasonographic follow-up. METHODS Three hundred and ninety-five consecutive patients with varicose veins who had been treated with ...

PURPOSE To investigate if noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxyptamine (5-HT) drugs induce responses of isolated control and varicose veins are altered by removal of the endothelium. SUBJECTS #ENTITYSTARTX00026; METHODS Specimens of the great saphenous vein (GSV) were obtained from 12 subjects with primary varicose veins and 12 subjects from donor vessels at cardiac surgery. A total of 10 normal h...

Foreign body is among complications of surgery. But as a complication of varicose vein surgery it was reported extremely rarely and, to our knowledge, there is only one paper in the literature. A case with retained sponge which was detected five months after varicose vein surgery was presented.

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) with high ligation and stripping (HLS) as standard treatment for great saphenous vein (GSV) insufficiency. DESIGN Two-center randomized controlled trial with 2-year follow-up. SETTING Interventions were performed on ambulatory and hospitalized patients at 2 vein centers, a university dermatology depar...

The mechanisms giving rise to vein tortuosity, which is often associated with varicosis, are poorly understood. Recent works suggest that significant biological changes in the wall of varicose veins may precede the mechanical aspects of the disease. To test the hypothesis of tortuosity being a consequence of these changes, a Finite Element model was developed based on previous experimental work...

Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disease due to impaired collagen metabolism. Joint hypermobility and skin hyper extensibility are the major findings. Six types of EDS are recognized. Type I or Gravis type is characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, skin splitting autosoml dominancy inheritance, preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) an...
