Pathophysiology of venous ulceration

Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders, 2017
Our understanding of the pathophysiologic process of venous ulceration has dramatically increased during the past two decades because of dedicated, venous-specific basic science research. Currently, the mechanisms regulating venous ulceration are a combination of macroscopic and microscopic pathologic processes.

The etiology of venous ulceration

World Journal of Surgery, 1986
AbstractVenous ulceration is caused by the disorganization of the microcirculation that is induced by prolonged venous hypertension. The most common cause of calf pump inefficiency that permits superficial venous hypertension during exercise is deep vein thrombosis.

The Hemodynamics of Venous Ulceration

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1992
Venous ulceration is the result of progressive chronic venous insufficiency, the pathophysiology of which is complex and incompletely understood. Ambulatory venous hypertension in this disease has been well-documented; however, relatively little attention has been directed toward other parameters of venous function.

Management of Venous Ulcers

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2014
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) results from venous hypertension secondary to superficial or deep venous valvular reflux, as well as venous obstruction. The most severe clinical manifestation of CVI is venous leg ulceration that can result in significant morbidity, including venous gangrene and amputation, albeit rare. Treatment modalities are aimed

Pathogenesis of venous ulcer

Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2015
The underlying pathophysiology of venous ulceration is venous hypertension, which initiates a complex cascade of cellular humeral events that are then magnified by genetic factors. Hemodynamic abnormalities are features of primary and secondary chronic venous diseases that lead to disease progression. Through a sequence of events, some patients develop

Venous leg ulcers

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2003
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

Venous ulcers and the superficial venous system

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1993
The purpose of this study is to identify the anatomic location of venous disease in patients with venous ulceration and chronic venous insufficiency.Both limbs of 59 consecutive patients attending the Middlesex Hospital Vascular Laboratory (London, U.K.) with venous ulceration were assessed by color duplex ultrasound scanning to determine the location ...

Management of Venous Ulcers

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 1998
As our society ages, critical care nurses will increasingly be exposed to patients with a variety of wounds. One of the most challenging wounds to manage is the venous ulcer, a complication of venous insufficiency. This article will summarize the prevention and management of venous ulcers in a comprehensive and research-based manner.

The Venous Ulcer and the Superficial Venous Reflux

The International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds, 2004
The management of venous ulcers must take into account the many aspects of the pathology and, overall, the hemodynamic patterns of reflux and the clinical pictures correlated. The most frequent model is represented by a superficial venous reflux that may be successfully treated by surgery with a very high percentage of ulcer healing.
