RCT - Does Treating Incompetent Perforators Reduce Recurrence?

Varicose Veins

The aim of this randomised case-controlled trial is to investigate whether ablation of incompetent perforating vein in addition to ablation of truncal vein reduces the rate of recurrent varicose veins post-treatment compared with patients who only have ablation of the truncal vein, who are left with untreated incompetent perforating veins.

Copper Impact on Venous Insufficiency and Lipodermatosclerosis

LipodermatosclerosisChronic Venous Insufficiency2 more

Venous disease has an adverse impact on the quality of life of patients and the NHS spends considerable resources on this chronic condition. Copper has been shown to promote new blood vessel formation and therefore improve blood supply to the affected area and possibly skin conditions. Copper has also been shown to have strong antimicrobial properties. We plan to perform a study whereby patients who would normally be given leg stockings will be asked to wear similar stockings except that one of the stockings will contain copper fibers. Neither the patient nor the clinician will know which is which. Photographs of the leg conditions will be taken at baseline, 2, 4 and 8 weeks to evaluate healing. Benefit will be evaluated by a symptom questionnaire, severity scoring tools and healing scores taken from the serial photographs.

Impact of Treatment With VENARUS® on the Level of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 in Varicose...

Varicose Veins

This study is designed to find if the venoactive drug contained diosmin and hesperidin is able to work against chronic vein-specific inflammation by changing the level of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1. This chemokine is involved in the vein wall remodeling in patients with lower limb varicose veins.

A Prospective Evaluation of Computerized Tomographic(CT) Scanning as a Screening Modality for Esophageal...

Esophageal VaricesPortal Hypertension1 more

Patients with cirrhosis require endoscopic screening for large esophageal varices. The aims of this study were to determine the cost -effectiveness and patient preferences of a strategy employing abdominal computerized tomography (CT) as the initial screening test for identifying large esophageal varices. In a prospective evaluation,102 patients underwent both CT and endoscopic screening for gastroesophageal varices. Two radiologists read each CT independently; standard upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was the reference standard. Agreement between radiologists, and between endoscopists regarding size of varices was determined using kappa statistic. Cost-effectiveness analysis was performed to determine the optimal screening strategy for varices. Patient preference was assessed by questionnaire. CT was found to have an approximately 90% sensitivity in the identification of esophageal varices determined to be large on endoscopy, but only about 50% specificity. The sensitivity of CT in detecting gastric varices was 87%. In addition, a significant additional number of gastric varices, peri-esophageal varices, and extraluminal pathology were identified by CT but not identified by endoscopy. Patients overwhelmingly preferred CT over endoscopy . Agreement between radiologists was good regarding the size of varices (Kappa = 0.56), and exceeded agreement between endoscopists (Kappa = 0.36). Use of CT as the initial screening modality for the detection of varices was significantly more cost-effective compared to endoscopy irrespective of the prevalence of large varices. In conclusion, abdominal CT as the initial screening test for varices could be cost-effective. CT also permits evaluation of extra-luminal pathology that impacts management.
