Abstract

Unlabelled:

To know the future one must look to the past.

Aim:

To review the history of sclerotherapy and the application of duplex ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy (UFS) to the treatment of varicose veins.

Method:

The development of sclerotherapy in the treatment of varicose veins during the last century is described with the introduction of ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy during the last decade. Foam sclerotherapy is described and the possible side effects are discussed. No long-term (10 years) random trial results are yet available.

Conclusion:

Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy is a useful technique in the management of chronic venous disease.

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...
