    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Medicine
    • Dermatology
    • Wound Care

    Background:

    • Venous ulcers represent the most prevalent type of leg ulcer.
    • Their incidence is rising, particularly in aging populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies for venous leg ulcers.
    • To address management of non-healing venous ulcers.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis confirmation via tests for venous insufficiency.
    • Assessment of arterial disease using Doppler Ankle-Brachial ratio.
    • Evaluation of treatment options including compression therapy and advanced wound care.

    Main Results:

    • High compression bandages are crucial for treating pitting edema associated with venous ulcers.
    • Non-healing ulcers may necessitate skin biopsy, medical treatment for fibrosis, or skin substitutes.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis and appropriate compression therapy are key to managing venous ulcers.
    • A multimodal approach is required for refractory cases, including advanced wound care interventions.
