Surgery of venous valve
Publication date: March 2013 Source:Reviews in Vascular Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1 Author(s): Alberto Caggiati , Lorenza Caggiati Main techniques proposed to restore venous competency in deep and superficial veins are reported. These include creation of “neovalves”, valve reparation, and implantation of prosthetic valves. (Source: Reviews in Vascular Medicine)

Compression therapy in leg ulcers
Conclusion In addition to the principles of modern wound management and to endovenous procedures abolishing superficial venous reflux compression therapy in combination with mobilization and walking exercises is still the basic treatment modality of leg ulcers. Highlights ► The dosage of compression therapy corresponding to the pressure on the leg has been widely ignored in previous research. ► Measurement of compression pressure is not only an important prerequisite to compare the effects of different compression materials in clinical trials but is also helpful for training purposes to apply appropriate bandages. ►...

Martorell hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer must not be confounded with pyoderma gangrenosum: Management is totally different
Conclusions Martorell HYTILU can easily be confounded with pyoderma gangrenosum or necrotizing vasculitis. Physicians involved in wound treatment should be sensitized to the typical clinical setting: a progressive and extremely painful skin infarction at the laterodorsal leg in a hypertensive and often diabetic subject. Diagnosis is confirmed histologically on a long-enough, narrow, but deep spindle-shape skin and ulcer biopsy, showing a highly characteristic form of stenotic and occlusive subcutaneous arteriolosclerosis. Management is essentially based on wound surgery. Conservative means are almost uneffective. Immunosup...

The calf vein thrombosis
Publication date: March 2013 Source:Reviews in Vascular Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1 Author(s): Pier Luigi Antignani , Leonardo Aluigi The distal vein thrombosis is a special disease poorly studied and actually without consensus on the diagnostic evaluation and on the necessary treatment. Sometimes this disease has a good prognosis, but it can extend to proximal veins and it can progress to pulmonary embolism, especially in its bilateral presentation. The main diagnostic test is color duplex Doppler evaluation with compression test, mostly if in expert hands. Compression ultrasound sonography (CUS) has sensibility ran...

Understanding acute aortic type B dissection: Are there new horizons in patient selection?
Publication date: June–September 2013 Source:Reviews in Vascular Medicine, Volume 1, Issues 2–3 Author(s): H.T.C. Veger , J.F. Hamming , M.J.T. Visser Aortic dissection (AD) still represents the most lethal aortic emergency. The presentation of thoracic pain of severe intensity and sudden onset is suspect for AD. Physical examination does not result in reliable findings for AD. For confirming or ruling out AD CTA or MRA must be performed; the choice should depend on the availability. Multiple studies have identified predictors of poor outcome at admission (eGFR <60ml/min and aortic diameter ≥40mm) and d...

Focus on corona phlebectatica: Diagnostic, significance and predictive value in chronic venous disorders
Conclusion Corona should no longer be considered as simple telangiectases of the foot (C1). It is a simple and reliable clinical entity, extremely relevant for the severity of the disease. This is the reason why a careful examination of the ankle should be done in any patient with CVD. (Source: Reviews in Vascular Medicine)

Results and clinical consequences of trials on thoracic endografting
Publication date: June–September 2013 Source:Reviews in Vascular Medicine, Volume 1, Issues 2–3 Author(s): Ruth Benson , Benjamin O. Patterson , Ian M. Loftus Thoracic endovascular repair (TEVR) has developed from endovascular treatment of infra-renal aortic aneurysms, and is now considered first line treatment for a variety of thoracic aortic pathologies. In contrast to infra-renal repair, with its large evidence base and randomised control trials, most of the existing data on TEVR is from smaller industry run trials designed to evaluate the safety of a particular device. The aim of this review is to describe t...

Testing for asymptomatic carotid disease in patients with arterial disease elsewhere
Publication date: December 2013 Source:Reviews in Vascular Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 4 Author(s): Ankur Thapar , Alex Munster , Joseph Shalhoub , Alun Huw Davies Moderate to severe asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis is found in 2–7% of the European population aged over 60 years; however the prevalence is highest in those with peripheral arterial disease (25%). The number of individuals needed to scan to prevent one extra stroke through referral for endarterectomy is 143 for claudicants, 250 for those with aortic aneurysmal disease and 333 for those with contralateral symptomatic carotid stenosis. The cost per s...

Indications for stenting during thrombolysis
Publication date: December 2013 Source:Reviews in Vascular Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 4 Author(s): N. Bækgaard , S. Just Success after treatment with catheter-directed thrombolysis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the iliofemoral vein segment is among other factors based on the stenting procedure of persistent obstructive lesions. This means opening of a chronic occlusion or stenotic appearance in the iliac vein in the so-called iliac vein compression syndrome also known as the May–Turner syndrome. It is demonstrated that restoration of the outflow tract for the entire lower limb is essential for an optimal resul...
