[Amniochorial membrane in the treatment of vascular ulcers]

On this study, patients with vascular ulceration on the lower legs treated with amniocordal membrane grafts, are analyzed. The graft implantation procedure is also described. This surgical procedure could be made ambulatorily. The results from this study confirm the short time of healing needed by this technique and the immediate release of the symptoms. The results also confirm the simplicity and economy of the technique, which could be carried out at any health level. Patients were distributed into two groups of treatment with similar variables. On the first group, an amniocorial membrane was used. On the second one, the treatment was carried out by the classic way. The resulting chi 2 was highly significant.
