Occlusion of the Great and Small Saphenous Vein Using Copolymeric Glue Based on N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate and Methacryloxy Sulfolane
Published on: December 9, 2022
Summary
Sclerosing injections for great saphenous veins show over 90% success. Small vein calibre correlates with better results, while thrombosis can lead to recurrence after sclerotherapy.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Phlebology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence is a common condition.
- Sclerotherapy is a widely used treatment for varicose veins.
- Understanding the mechanism of sclerosis is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the mechanism of sclerosis following sclerosing injections in the great saphenous veins.
- To investigate the relationship between vein calibre and treatment outcomes.
- To identify factors contributing to recurrence after sclerotherapy.
Main Methods:
- Prospective study involving 309 great saphenous veins.
- Doppler and ultrasonography used to analyze the sclerosis mechanism.
- Sclerosing injections administered within 50mm of the sapheno-femoral junction over five sessions.
Main Results:
- A strong correlation was found between small vein calibre and favorable treatment results.
- Recurrence by early repermeation was often linked to sclerosing-induced thrombosis.
- Over 90% favorable responses were observed after a 15.7-month follow-up period.
Conclusions:
- Sclerosing injection therapy is highly effective for great saphenous vein treatment.
- Vein calibre and thrombosis are key factors influencing sclerotherapy outcomes.
- Further analysis of treatment parameters may refine management strategies for this condition.

01:17Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

01:26Varicose 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...
