Abstract:
The use of postsclerotherapy compression was evaluated in 37 women with bilaterally symmetrical telangiectatic leg veins. Compressed vessels tended to achieve a greater clinical resolution when located on the distal leg and/or when greater than 0.5 mm in diameter. Postsclerotherapy hyperpigmentation fell from 40.5% to 28.5% with the use of compression. In addition, ankle and calf edema were lessened if a graduated compression stocking was worn immediately after sclerotherapy.
