2 Varicose Vi Vein Market Approximately 40% of the US population has venous disease; million people impacted by varicose veins More common in women than in men (20 25% of women, 10 15% 15% of men) 50 % of women at 50 yrs old! Venous disease results in symptoms such as aching, fatigue, swelling, and pain in the legs that can interfere with daily living Cosmetic issues may affect quality of life 1.5M seek Cosmetic or Medical treatment each year There are still 150,000 vein strippings each year: luckily the other 99% will seek minimally invasive, in office procedures with little down time and minimal discomfort At least 20% of patients with venous disease will develop leg ulcers All these patients need support stockings!
3 NEED 1.5M Seek Cosmetic or Medical Treatment Each Year
4 THE SPECTRUM OF VENOUS DISEASE telangiectasias Superficial phlebitis varicose veins lipodermatosclerosis venous ulceration
5 Historical Methods of Vein Care Sclerotherapy has been used in the treatment of varicose veins for over 150 years The first reported attempt of sclerotherapy was by Dr. Zollikofer in Switzerland in 1682 Injected an acid into a vein to induce thrombin formation In 1854, Desgranges cured 16 cases of varicose veins Injected iodine and tannin Due to the high rate of side effects with the drugs used at that time, sclerotherapy was practically abandoned by 1894 In 1946 came the development of sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) which is still in use today
6 Methods of treatment Polidocanol was developed in the 1930 s as a topical anesthetic and marketed as a scleorsant in the 1950 s In 1946 came the development of sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) which is still in use today In the 1960 s, George Fagan reported treating over 13,000 patients with sclerotherapy He focused on fibrosis of the vein rather than thrombosis and the importance of compression of the treated leg His procedure became accepted in Europe in the 1960 s His procedure became accepted in Europe in the 1960 s and in the US in the 1970 s
7 Reticular Vi Veins Enlarged, greenish blue appearing veins Frequently associated with clusters of telangiectasias May be symptomatic, especially in dependent areas of leg
8 Tl Telangiectasias i Also known as spider veins due to their appearance Very common, especially in women Increase in frequency with age 85% of patients are symptomatic May indicate more extensive venous disease Weiss RA and Weiss MA J Dermatol Weiss RA and Weiss MA J Dermatol Surg Oncol Apr;16(4):333-6.
9 Treatment of telangiectasias i Sclerotherapy most effective Laser may be helpful Multiple l treatments usually required Reduces symptoms in 85% of patients Improves quality of life Weiss RA and Weiss MA J Dermatol Surg Oncol Apr;16(4):333-6.
10 Lateral lsubdermic Plexus Very common, especially in women Superficial veins with direct connections to deep system Remnant of embryonic deep venous system

14 While routine compression after sclerotherapy is still a matter of debate, it is common practice everywhere in the world to perform some sort of compression after surgery or after endovenous treatment of refluxing veins. In a study based on the assessment of independent observers Kern et al have demonstrated that compression stockings in a range of mmhg worn for three weeks are able to improve the cosmetic outcome after sclerotherapy of spider veins. Comparable results after sclerotherapy of large veins are missing.
15 Pathophysiology: 2 components REFLUX Dilatation of vein wall leads to valve insufficiency Monocytes may destroy vein valves Retrograde flow results in distal venous hypertension OBSTRUCTION Thrombosis and subsequent fibrosis obstruct venous outflow Damage to vein valves may also cause reflux Both contribute to venous hypertension The presence of both is far worse than either one alone

17 Treatment of varicose veins Endovenous occlusion with radiofrequency or laser extremely effective Microphlebectomy Ultrasound guided Sclerotherapy Min R et al, J Vasc Interv Radiol 2001; 12: Rautio T et al, J Vasc Surg 2002; 35(5):958-65

24 Compression Therapy Provides a gradient of pressure, highest at the ankle, decreasing as it moves up the leg Reduces reflux of blood Improves venous outflow Increases velocity of blood flow to reduce the risk of blood clots Photo courtesy of Juzo

27 Compression therapy, to be effective, necessitates the understanding di of the venous system and graduated d medical support stockings.

28 Graduated compression is not the same as T.E.D. hose T.E.D.s are meant for nonambulatory, supine patients T.E.D.s..sae are indicated dcatedtoto decrease the incidence of thrombosis T.E.D.s do not provide sufficient pressure for ambulatory patients
29 Goals of Compression Therapy Help prevent thromboembolism in non ambulatory hospitalised patients t Improve venous return from the lower extremities ii with ih venous stasis Counter effects of ambulatory venous hypertension Help control the progression of venous and lymphatic disease by increased contact of skin and dermal tissues with capillaries; reduce and control edema
30 Goals of Compression Therapy Compression garments, like eye glasses have to do three things to be successful: Control the condition Be comfortable to wear Be reasonably cosmetically acceptable
