Filter by:Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy of different compression methods within 48 hours after endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in terms of great saphenous vein closure rate, postoperative complications, quality of life, time to return to normal work, and patient satisfaction.
Historically, venous leg ulcers have been very difficult to manage, with associated poor healing rates, and the likelihood of recurrence. Even following correction of underlying venous dysfunction, ulcers can take time to respond to conventional treatment with compression therapy. Recently, the leg ulcer service in Gloucestershire - part of the vascular surgical team - have been using an interactive dressing called UrgoStart Plus under compression therapy in the management of chronic venous leg ulcers and we have experienced some positive outcomes for otherwise recalcitrant ulcers. A previous study published in 2017 by Meaume et al demonstrated a reduction in wound surface area after 8 weeks of treatment with UrgoStart Plus. However, whether or not use of the dressing, in combination with compression bandages, improves 12-week healing rates, remains an unanswered question. The aim of the proposed study is to provide an evaluation of this interactive dressing when used under compression bandages and to compare 12-week healing rates with a similar cohort of patients who have been treated with a simple low adherent dressing under compression. This has been our gold standard up to now and we have been collecting prospective data from patients treated in our unit.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety, efficacy and utility of a medical device called the Cook® Venous Valve System. This device, percutaneously placed in the leg, is meant to help the blood flow correctly through the veins in the leg.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adding sulodexide to the patients with varicose veins who received radiofrequency ablation combined with sclerotherapy can reduce or improve the impact of adverse events。
To demonstrate that the Insight Pro Device is safe and effective for use in detecting lymphatic and venous disorders.
Compression wraps treat venous leg ulcers when applied correctly. Often, clinicians apply the wraps at the wrong compression, or the wrap loosens, stopping clinical benefits. The study aims to show the feasibility of a smart compression prototype to maintain a set compression level in healthy volunteers. Each volunteer will wear the prototype device on one leg and a standard compression wrap on the other. Volunteers will pump their calves, walk, lie down, and stand at zero, one, and four hours. A pressure sensor placed over each calf will record the compression level during the activities. Volunteers will provide subjective feedback on each device concerning comfort and usability. After four hours, researchers will remove the standard wrap. Volunteers will use the prototype device during daily activities for three days. During the three days, the volunteers will complete a daily journal. The journal will capture the user experience and time the volunteer used the device. A final site visit allows researchers to conduct exit interviews and download the history of applied compression. Researchers will use the data to show that the prototype device maintains therapeutic compression and prove the usability of the device.
The present study aims to use a game-based tele-exercise program for patients using a compression garment to improve lower extremity edema. This tele-exercise gaming platform can work as an efficient exercise to improve patients' muscle strength. It also can be helpful in improving edema and venous return and can be used in addition to compression garments to increase efficacy. The sample size (n=30) is convenient and designed to explore acceptability and feasibility. Eligible participants will be screened at the Baylor college of Medicine Clinic based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Participants who satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria and sign the informed consent form will be randomly assigned with ratio of 1:1 into two groups. Both groups will receive a compression garment to use for 4 weeks, and in the intervention group, patients will receive a sensor and a tablet to play foot & ankle exercise games twice a day for 5 minutes. Study participation will be 4 weeks for all participants. Participants will be assessed in two visits: a baseline visit (BL) and a visit at the end of the 4 weeks (W4). The primary outcomes will be calf circumference, foot volume, and pitting edema grade. Secondary outcomes include limb strength, foot perfusion, gait assessment (gait speed, stride length, double stance, and gait steadiness), balance, and quality of life. The coordinator will monitor patients weekly to see their adherence to the compression garment and game-based exercise.
This is a multicentre, quasi-experimental study to evaluate the Conformitè Europëenne-marked Compreflex standard calf and foot (with basic liner) under routine conditions. The study will be conducted at 4 clinics and will include 100 consecutive patients. Patients will be followed-up until 26 weeks.
We collected retrospectively the non contrast MRI in chia yi memorial hospital for different venous disease of lower extremity morphology and flow ananlysis were done.
Aim of the present study is to investigate the efficiency of adrenaline (epinephrine) used locally in reducing and avoiding post-operative formation of subcutaneous ecchymoses and hematomas, in comparison with traditional practice of hemostasis, and to assess improvement in the quality of life of subjects undergoing classic great saphenous vein stripping, who received or did not receive adrenaline as a local hemostatic.
