The high prevalence of varicose veins has been established in numerous population studies. Currently, guidelines have been developed for the treatment of patients with varicose veins for various stages of chronic venous insufficiency. Nevertheless, despite the use of modern drugs, leg compression, surgical and other interventions, it is not possible to completely reverse the symptoms of venous insufficiency. The article is devoted to the analysis of micronized flavonoid purified fraction. The development of modern drugs for chronic venous diseases is an important direction in medicine. The creation of a drug pool manufactured InRussiais a priority in the development of the country’s pharmaceutical industry. The review presents data on the study of Detravenol (Russia), which is a combination of diosmin and hesperidin (micronized purified flavonoid fraction).

The article presents up-to-date information about epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of chronic venous diseases and chronic venous insufficiency of the lower extremities. It discusses the mechanism of action of various phlebotrophic drugs intended for the treatment of symptoms of chronic venous diseases and chronic venous insufficiency and describes the advantages of micronized purified flavonoid fraction for the treatment of all clinical classes of chronic venous diseases.

Assessment of varicose vein and chronic venous insufficiency and making a differential diagnosis in patients suffering from a variety of sign and symptoms is sometimes a big challenge in daily clinical practice. Here, we present a female patient with varicose vein symptoms and ecchymosis on her lower extremities. Several irregular shaped ecchymotic lesions on both extremities in different stage of healing with deep purple have been treated by using micronized purified flavonoid fraction.

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common, but underdiagnozed clinical disorder associated with a variety of signs and symptoms. The presence of leg edema in association  with varicose veins, and venous leg ulcer in later disease stages defines the disease. The pathogenesis of chronic venous disease  is based on venous reflux, obstruction, or a combination thereof.  Prior postthrombotic syndrome   is one of risk factor for CVI which may explain observed  prevalence of thrombophilia in CVI. Color flow duplex ultrasound is the gold standard for nearly all diagnostic issues related to chronic venous disease. Compression stockings are the mainstay for conservative management. Earlier use of venous ablation therapy should be considered in symptomatic patients with superficial tortuous vein

Objective: To determine the increase in healing rate of venous ulcer in patients receiving a micronised purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) as supplementation to standard local care. Design: A randomised, open, controlled, multicentre study. Setting: Departments of Dermatology and University Outpatients Clinics. Patients: One hundred and forty patients with chronic venous insufficiency and venous ulcers. Intervention: Patients received standard compressive therapy plus external treatment alone or 2 tablets of MPFF daily in addition to the above treatment for 24 weeks. Main outcome measure: Healing of ulcers and their reduction in size after 24 weeks of treatment. Results: The percentage of patients whose ulcers healed completely was found to be markedly higher in those receiving MPFF in addition to standard external and compressive treatment than in those treated with conventional therapy alone (46.5% vs 27.5%; p<0.05, OR = 2.3, 95% CI 1.1–4.6). Ulcers with diameters <3 cm were cured in 71% of patients in the MPFF group and in 50% of patients in the control group, whereas ulcers between 3 and 6 cm in diameter were cured in 60% and 32% of patients ( p<0.05), respectively. The mean reduction in ulcer size was also found to be greater in patients treated with MPFF (80%) than in the control group (65%) ( p<0.05). The cost-effectiveness ratio (cost per healed ulcer) in the MPFF group was €1026.2 compared with €1871.8 in the control group. Conclusions: These results indicate that MPFF significantly improves the cure rate in patients with chronic venous insufficiency.
