Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery With Tumescent Local Anesthesia
2002
background. Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) has become an established procedure. objective. To evaluate SEPS with tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) using an single-port device originally designed for that purpose. methods. Patients selected for SEPS received subcutaneous infiltration of TLA into the medial aspect of the calf 20 minutes before surgery. Bipolar coagulation and dissection were used to treat incompetent perforators. results. Fifty-one patients with 67 legs of CEAP stages C3–C6 underwent SEPS with TLA. In 40 patients or 53 legs (79.1%) TLA alone allowed successful completion of the SEPS procedure. Five patients with 7 legs (10.4%) required additional intravenous a…

The place of Ruscus extract, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and vitamin C in the management of chronic venous disease.
2017
Despite continuous improvement in our knowledge and management of chronic venous disease (CVD), certain areas, such as the role of muscarinic receptors in the pathology and treatment of CVD, remain unexplored. The symposium "The place of Ruscus extract, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and vitamin C in the management of CVD", held at the Annual Meeting of the European Venous Forum on 7-9 July 2016 in London, presented an update on the pathophysiology of CVD and highlighted how the combination of Ruscus extract, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and vitamin C (Ruscus/HMC/VitC; Cyclo 3® Fort), may counteract the deleterious processes underlying CVD. The data presented during this symposium are reported …
Correlation between chronic prostatitis syndrome and pelvic venous disease: a survey of 2,554 urologic outpatients.
2000
Objectives: In this study we evaluated the association between chronic prostatitis syndrome (CPS), varicocele and hemorrhoids as manifestations of a pelvic venous disease. Methods: Our retrospective study was based upon 2554 patients treated in two general urology clinics over the past 10 years. We have assessed the incidence of CPS among urological patients. Results: We found 483 patients with CPS, representing 18.9% of the total number of visits at the outpatient clinic. In this group the percentage of varicocele and hemorrhoids was 14.69 and 8.48%, whereas in a control group these figures were 5.02 and 5.84%, respectively (p < 0.001 and 0.1054). Such a difference is statistically sign…
The risk for cardiovascular disease in women: from estrogens to selective estrogen receptor modulators.
2006
Cardiovascular disease, a generic denomination including coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and venous thromboembolic disease (VTED), has shown sensitivity to estrogens. The relative protection of women as compared with men has nourished a debate about a possible protective role for estrogens, but the prejudicial effects detected in clinical trials has created confusion on the risk/benefit ratio induced by hormone administration. The hypothesis that agonists distinct to estrogens might improve the effects associated with estrogens is at the base of the increasing interest on the role of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). There is a lack of definitive clearcut clinical data o…

Design of an Herbal Preparation Composed by a Combination of Ruscus aculeatus L. and Vitis vinifera L. Extracts, Magnolol and Diosmetin to Address Ch…
2023
Chronic venous disease (CVD) is an often underestimated inflammatory pathological condition that can have a serious impact on quality of life. Many therapies have been proposed to deal with CVD, but unfortunately the symptoms recur with increasing frequency and intensity as soon as treatments are stopped. Previous studies have shown that the common inflammatory transcription factor AP-1 (activator protein-1) and nuclear factor kappa-activated B-cell light chain enhancer (NF-kB) play key roles in the initiation and progression of this vascular dysfunction. The aim of this research was to develop a herbal product that acts simultaneously on different aspects of CVD-related inflammation. Based…
Endovascular management of a large aneurysm of the superior vena cava involving internal thoracic vein with remodeling technique
2016
International audience; We report a case describing endovascular treatment of a large aneurysm of the superior vena cava involving internal thoracic vein. The goal of this case report is to highlight the contributing role of embolization with remodeling technique in such an exceptional condition.
