Sclérothérapie : ma méthode

Abstract

Aim: The aim of my study has been to evaluate the efficacy of a new method of compression sclerotherapy of
GSV and SSF.
Materials and Methods: 180 lower extremities with primary varicous veins, with a long reflux of the GSV (C2-6, Ep,
As2 ± p, Pr), have been submitted to sclerotherapy applying
the following method: injection of the trunk of the GSV,
according to Sigg’s technique; echoguided compression of
sapheno-femoral junction (done by an inflatable balloon
called Safeguard); immediate eccentrical positive compression on the trunk of the GSV; and short elastic bandage.
The results have shown that the failure rate decreases,
applying this method of sclerotherapy
Comments: The use of “Safeguard” interrupts reflux to
the lower veins, and these can so be well sclerosed and
compressed with short elastic bandage.
Conclusion: This new strategy of sclerotherapy, with
echoguided compression, improves the results and the
safety of treatment of primary varicous veins.
