36 Epidemiology of Venous Ulcers 0.06 and 1% Rising prevalence in elderly Peak prevalence age 70 years F:M ratio 3:1 D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

37 Risk factors for Venous Ulceration Venous insufficiency Previous DVT Chronic skin changes Local trauma Aggravation by co-existing conditions D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

40 Macrovascular Changes Ambulatory venous hypertension

41 Microvascular Changes Pericapillary fibrin deposition Localised microvascular ischaemia White cell adhaerence White cell activation Activity of inflammatory mediators D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

42 Management of Venous Ulcers General measures Adjuvant pharmacotherapy Compression Dressings Sclerotherapy Endovenous interventions Surgery D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

43

44

45 Management-General Measures Address needs of the patient as a whole Consider lifestyle,mobility,occupation,nutrition Elevation of legs Prop bed up by 10-15% D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

46

47 Management - Dressings Choice is a matter of clinical judgement Insufficient clinical trials to allow recommendation D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

48 The Ideal Dressing Reduce ulcer pain Allow excess exudate to escape Be non-allergenic Easy to change without discomfort Leave no dressing residue Inexpensive Easy to apply D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

49 Management-Compression Ambulant patients need bandages or stockings mm Hg at ankle Graduated Sustained compression D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

50 Ideal Compression Bandaging System Gradient of pressure Even pressure over anatomical contours Maintains pressure Remains in position Complements dressing functions Non-irritant and non-allergenic Comfortable Washable D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

51 Management- Adjuvant Pharmacotherapy Only in addition to compression Agents include :fibrinolytic agents fibrinolysis-enhancing hydroxyrutosides pentoxifylline prostaglandin E systemic antibiotics diuretics D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

52 Venous Ulceration 50-70% of venous ulceration is secondary to primary varicose veins and is curable with relatively simple venous interventions D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

53 D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

54 D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

55

56 Epidemiology Disease of Western civilisation 10-20% men and 67% of adult women have physically identifiable varicosities Varicose veins range from venectasia or telangiectasia to protuberant tortuous varicosities D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

57 Primary Varicose Veins Great Saphenous Small Saphenous Perforator veins D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

58 Secondary Varicose Veins A-V fistula Deep venous obstruction D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

59 Investigation Duplex scan Venography CT venography D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

60 Duplex Scanning Combination of ultrasound and Doppler Operator dependent Significantly improved our understanding and management of varicose veins Relatively cheap and non-invasive Mandatory prior to any major intervention D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

61 D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

62

63 Management Conservative Sclerotherapy Non-surgical saphenous ablation Chemical Radiofrequency Laser Surgery D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

64 Conservative treatment Weight loss Exercise Compression hosiery D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

65 Local Sclerotherapy Simple office procedure Good results in appropriately selected patients May buy time Cheapest option D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

66 Endovevous intervention Now the gold standard for varicose vein treatment Includes UGS and endovenous ablation Minimally invasive therefore lower threshold for intervention No general anaesthetic therefore suitable for high risk patients Day case local procedures Lower cost

67 Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy [UGS] Minimally invasive Poor results in large axial veins Good option in selected patients Systemic effects of sclerosants unknown May require multiple treatments Phlebitis and brown staining an issue Poor long-term results in large axial D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

68 D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

69 D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

70 Endovenous Laser Therapy First described by Bone in 1999 Diode laser forms steam bubbles in blood leading to endothelial damage,coagulative necrosis and thrombotic occlusion of vein Requires tumescent anaesthesia Deals with saphenous trunks only Requires adjunctive procedures for varices Early results favourable Day procedure D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

71 D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

72 Radiofrequency Ablation First described by Goldman in 2000 Heat generated by radiofrequency probe causes local heating of vein wall Requires tumescent anaesthesia Deals with saphenous trunks only Requires adjunctive procedures for varices Day procedure D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

73 Management Surgical Therapy Varicose vein surgery Valvuloplasty Venous cuffs Venous bypass SSG Flaps D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

74 Surgery Excellent results if performed well Requires anaesthesia,cuts and more recovery Neovascularisation in less than 7% Cutaneous nerve injury and leg swelling are issues Good long-term results Everything treated in one hit Good option in patients with very large varices D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

89 Epidemiology of PAD Affects 12-14% of the general population Affects upto 20% of patients over 75 Coexistent coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease are highly prevalent in patients with PAD D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

90 History Location Duration Progress Distance Time for relief Associated rest pain D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

91 Rest pain Pain felt in the distal forefoot which is exacerbated by elevation

105 Best Medical Therapy Smoking Antiplatelet therapy Hypertension Diabetes Hyperlipidaemia Statin Cilastozol,Trental Exercise D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

106 Our Approach We favour an endovascular first policy

107 Endovascular Treatment Angioplasty Stenting Atherectomy Thombolysis D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

108 D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

109 Angioplasty Best in big arteries with short stenoses Results below inguinal ligament best in focal lesions Short occlusions Myointimal hyperplasia affects results Greater role in high risk patients Improved technology with drug eluting balloons D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

110

111 D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

112

113 Stenting Good long term results in iliac arteries Results below the inguinal ligament less durable Stent fracture an issue in mobile arteries Myointimal hyperplasia and in stent restenosis affect durability Improved technology resulting in better outcomes in high risk patients Drug eluting and biodegradable stents on the horizon D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

114

115 Surgical Treatment Aortoiliofemoral interventions Femoropopliteal reconstructions Distal arterial reconstruction Sympathectomy Amputation D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

116 Surgical outcomes Improved outcomes with better peri-operative care and surgical techniques Operative mortality about 2-3 % Synthetic grafts work well in the aorta and iliacs but autologous grafts preferred below the infrainguinal ligament 5 year patency rates about 70-80% and limb salvage rates 80-90% Appropriate work up prior to surgery essential D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

117 Endovascular or Surgery? BASIL trial Life expectancy greater than 2 years limb salvage greater and mortality lower in surgery patients Role of stenting still undefined but long-term patency and cost effectiveness remain an issue D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

142 Ulcers When to refer Pain Infection Absent pulses ABI < 0.8 Refractory ulcers Cellulitis Deteriorating ulcers D Naik MBchB FRACS DDU [Vascular]

143 Conclusion Aetiology of lower limb ulcers is often multifactorial Management of leg ulcers should include an assessment and management of aetiological factors Current management of vascular patients involves tailoring intervention according to the clinical and risk profile of the patient As less invasive management options are available for intervention consideration of early specialist referral is appropriate
