Filter by:Patients with chronic edema of the lower limb referred to compression bandaging in a hospital setting will be invited to participate in the validation study of a novel sensor (CIMON), which have been developed for assessing the effect of compression bandaging. Participants will have the sensor applied to the lower limb before initiation of compression bandaging and will receive usual compression treatment according to severity of the edema and usual practice at the treatment site. Duration of participation is 14 days.
An open-label, multi-center, prospective VA study to evaluate the effectiveness and health economics of a Novel Portable Non-Pneumatic Active Compression Device (NPCD) for lymphedema/phlebolymphedema
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is one of the most common medical problems in adults that occurs secondary to the reflux of blood through incompetent valves of lower extremity veins. The most common involved valve is the valve located at the saphenofemoral junction. Although the pathway of reflux transmission is not the same in all patients, the removal or ablation of the greater saphenous vein (GSV) is considered a standard treatment in these patients. However, in patients whose reflux is transmitted to branches other than GSV, this treatment leads to the unnecessary destruction of a competent segment of GSV in addition to remaining at least some segments of incompetent veins. So, in this study, the investigators intend to investigate the different pathways of reflux transmission in chronic venous insufficiency patients who are candidates for GSV ablation/stripping because of saphenofemoral junction insufficiency. This cross-sectional study will be conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach. .
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.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart is weak and not able to effectively pump blood to the body. One of the common manifestations of CHF is fluid overload and swelling of the legs. Diuretics or "water pills" are usually the treatment for fluid overload and leg swelling; however, in some patients' diuretics are no longer effective or the effectiveness is limited due to poor kidney function. The presence of chronic swelling of the legs could potentially damage the veins; additionally, it could lead to chronic skin changes in the legs and in the worst cases to a leg ulcer. Compression stockings are used in patients with venous diseases to reduce the swelling of the legs and improve mobility and quality of life. Although, there is a theoretical risk that compression stockings might push the fluid of the legs back to the heart and lungs worsening the CHF. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of knee-high tight socks (tight stockings with strong compression) vs. knee-high soft socks (soft stockings with minimum compression) are effective in preventing swelling and skin changes and safe in patients with CHF. During the first visit (in-person) a routine medical test will be performed including blood tests, review of the medication doses, current weight, an ultrasound images of the veins, (venous reflux ultrasound), questions about health status and a brief physical exam. The participants will be randomly assigned to receive tight compression vs. soft compression socks. Participants will be asked to wear the socks at least 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. There will be a total of 3 virtual visit (by video or telephone); the first one after one week, then after one month and two months. During the virtual visit participants will be asked about symptoms, current medications and doses, and current weight. The participants are expected to return to the clinic after 3 months for a second in-person visit. During this visit the investigators will ask questions about participant's health, they will perform a brief physical exam of their legs, and check participants weight and medicines; also, a venous ultrasound of the legs, questions about health status will be performed. The duration of the study is 3 months.
The aim of the study is to compare between Isolated Iliac vein stenting vs Concomitant Iliac vein stenting with pelvic vein embolization in patients with Pelvic Venous Insufficiency secondary to Nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions
Chronic venous disease (CVD) are common vascular pathology characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations occurring with symptoms and/or signs that vary in type and severity. The pathophysiological mechanisms of CVD start from the development of venous hypertension, leading to endothelial dysfunction and venous wall dilatation. Lipedema is subcutaneous adipose tissue disorder characterized by enlargement of both lower extremities. Previous studies showed that foot deformities such as pes planus or cavus are at a high prevalence in CVD patients, and the authors indicated that foot disorders are an important risk factor that negatively affects venous disease. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one study investigating plantar arch abnormalities in lipedema patients based on clinical observation. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate plantar foot distribution and foot deformity in patients with CVD and lipedema.
The purpose of this study is to estimate efficiency, tolerance, safety of "Foscelantan, medicinal plate 4.0x5.0 cm in package No. 1" among adult patients who have purulent-inflammatory processes of the skin and soft tissues due to the neuropathic form of diabetic foot syndrome or chronic venous insufficiency, phase I-II of the wound process.
The study investigates the effectiveness of Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) in improving venous flow and reducing symptoms in venous insufficiency patients. The primary goal is to demonstrate CDT's effects, with secondary goals assessing symptom relief, life quality improvement, and adverse effects. The trial is a simple blind randomized design, involving an experimental group receiving CDT plus exercises and a control group doing exercises alone. Participants are adults with specific classifications of venous insufficiency, excluding certain health conditions. The study will involve 12 participants in the experimental group and 9 in the control group.
Virtual reality has been shown to reduce the pain experienced during medical procedures. The aim of this study is to determine to what extent the use of this technique could make it possible to defer the administration of neuroleptanalgesia during the endovenous thermal treatment of superficial varicose veins in addition to local anaesthesia by tumescence.
