The VenaSeal (Medtronic) cyanoacrylate closure system is a non-thermal non-tumescent technique for ablating saphenous veins using a proprietary n-butyl cyanoacrylate. A potential side effect is an allergic reaction to the...
Pulmonary embolism (PE) that occurs in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can often result in acute exacerbation. Immediate intervention for them is required to prevent acute exacerbations...
The clinical importance and optimal management of chronic Gastrocnemius vein (GCV) incompetence have rarely been discussed. In case of an incompetent GCV with varicose degeneration, surgical management of intramuscular varicose...
Objective Flebogrif® is a new mechanochemical ablation (MOCA) technique for treating chronic venous disorders (CVD), with limited studies available. This study provides early clinical outcomes from its use in South...
Compression stockings are widely utilized for various purposes in the management of patients with varicose veins. Their primary applications include alleviating swelling and edema, preventing the progression of varicose veins,...
In the patient with chronic venous disease, venous hypertension occur which result in inability of calf pumps and conduits in the venous system to maintain a normal pressure and normal...
The representative conservative modality for venous insufficiency in lower extremities is the application of elastic compression stockings. Typically, wearing these stockings is used as an alternative treatment to surgery or...
In the treatment of varicose veins, accurate diagnosis through ultrasound examination is very important. Recently, major academic societies have previously reported guidelines for ultrasound examination of varicose veins and have...
Varicose veins are a prevalent vascular disorder affecting a significant portion of the global population, leading to reduced quality of life and potential health risks if left untreated. Traditional treatments,...
Non-thermal, non-tumescent (NTNT) techniques for varicose vein treatment have gained significant attention as alternatives to traditional thermal ablation methods, providing less invasive options with fewer complications and less downtime. This...
Treatment of deep vein thrombosis has evolved based on advances in medical technology and understanding of vascular pathophysiology. Initially, anticoagulation therapy was attempted to remove thrombus, and dramatic changes occurred...
Central venous catheter (CVC) is commonly used and is a relatively safe procedure for patients who require intravascular volume replacement, pressure monitoring and infusion of various medications including total parenteral...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a severe condition comprising deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, requires prompt treatment. Traditional therapies include heparin, low-molecular-weight heparin, and warfarin. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as...
