Venous ulcers

The American Journal of Surgery, 1994
Successful therapy of venous ulcers combines local wound treatment modalities and ambulatory hemodynamic support to control the underlying disease. Compression bandaging reduces or eliminates edema, and a moist wound environment not only debrides necrotic tissue but also aids development of granulation tissue, a prerequisite for epidermal repair.

Investigation of venous ulcers

Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2015
The evaluation of patients with venous ulceration primarily includes noninvasive methods to elucidate the distribution and extent of pathology. Duplex ultrasound is the first line of investigation, as it provides assessment of both reflux and obstruction conditions.

Compression and venous ulcers

Phlebology: The Journal of Venous Disease, 2013
Compression therapy is considered to be the most important conservative treatment of venous leg ulcers. Until a few years ago, compression bandages were regarded as first-line therapy of venous leg ulcers. However, to date medical compression stockings are the first choice of treatment.

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.

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

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

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.

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
