Compression Method

Objectives To investigate the adherence to and efficacy of different compression methods in elderly patients. Methods A retrospective review of compression therapy in 120 elderly patients (≥65 years) with chronic venous insufficiency was performed to study the initially preferred compression method, adherence to each method, and its efficacy. Results Initially, an oversize strong stocking (24%), an appropriate size moderate stocking (19%), and bandages (37%) were equally preferred. Adherence at 1 month was 69%, 96%, and 91%, respectively, and they reduced ankle circumferences in C3 patients by 1.8 ± 1.9 cm, 0.3 ± 1.7 cm, and 2.9 ± 1.7 cm, respectively. The improvement rates of C4 symptoms were 79%, 60%, and 91%, respectively. Only three patients (2%) preferred an appropriate size strong stocking. Conclusions In elderly patients, an appropriate size strong stocking was not preferred. The best adherence was achieved by using a moderate stocking, while the best efficacy was achieved by using bandages.

ZusammenfassungWenn Maßnahmen der physikalischen Therapie wie rezeptpflichtige Kompressionsstrümpfe und ein angeleitetes ambulantes Gefäßtraining in einem frühen Stadium begonnen werden, können die Beschwerden des Patienten gelindert, die Gelenkbeweglichkeit und venöse Drainage verbessert und behindernde Stauungserkrankungen wie die Dermatolipofasziitis und das Ulcus cruris vermieden werden. Hat eine chronische venöse Stauung einmal zu einer Atrophie der Gelenkkapsel, Sprunggelenksversteifung und Muskelatrophie des Unterschenkels geführt, sind teure Therapiemaßnahmen einschließlich einer professionellen Krankengymnastik unumgänglich. Unseren eigenen Erfahrungen nach ist eine krankengymnastische Behandlung am wirksamsten, wenn sie in Kombination mit einer biomechanischen Stimulation erfolgt. Sobald der Steppergang des Patienten behoben wurde, können herkömmliche Gehübungen nach und nach das physiologische Gangbild wiederherstellen. Nach erfolgreicher Physiotherapie tragen ein ambulantes Gefäßtraining und eine optimierte Kompressionsbehandlung bei Patienten mit fortgeschrittener chronisch venöser Insuffizienz entscheidend zum langfristigen Therapieerfolg bei. Vergleichbar dem Koronarsport werden Gefäßtrainingsprogramme von den öffentlichen Kassen übernommen. Zusammen mit einer Kompressionsbehandlung stellen sie eine wirksame und kosteneffektive Basistherapie für die chronisch venöse Insuffizienz dar.

The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative assessment of the course of the postoperative period after phlebectomy and thermal ablation in patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities in the system of the great saphenous vein (GSV) with class C2 of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — CEAP class C2. Materials and methods: 455 patients (455 limbs) with CEAP class C2. Group 1 (n = 154) received stripping + minimally invasive phlebectomy; Group 2 — endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of GSV trunk + sclerotherapy of varicose veins; 3 group (n = 150) — radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the GSV + sclerotherapy. All patients were united by a single tactical solution — the elimination of pathological vertical reflux in GSV. In each group, patients were with similar hemodynamic profile were selected (Group 1 = 63; Group 2 = 61; Group 3 = 61). The course of the postoperative period (from 2 days to 2 months) was compared for pain (visual analog scale — VAS), clinical symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, degree of satisfaction (Darvall questionnaire), and duration of disability. Statistical processing was carried out using Excel programs for Windows XP, MedCalc® (version 11.4.2.0., Mariakerke, Belgium). Results: Postoperative pain is more pronounced (during day 1 for Group 1–4.0, Group 2–3.0, Group 3–2.0) and more prolonged (up to 4 days) after open surgeries (p < 0.05). The dynamics of the clinical symptoms of CVI (including varicose syndrome and use of compression therapy) could not be fully evaluated in connection with the ongoing sclerotherapy procedures for patients of Groups 2 and 3. Satisfaction of patients with aesthetic aspects was higher than expected in all groups. Reliable statistical differences proved decrease in days of disability (Group 1–14; Group 2–4; Group 3–3) and earlier return to physical activities and work in patients after thermal ablation in comparison with phlebectomy. Conclusion: The study shows that all three methods for eliminating vertical reflux in the GSV can be proposed for a large category of patients with CEAP of class C3 and C2. Medical and social rehabilitation of patients using endovascular thermal ablation technologies proceeds faster, which is beneficial both for the patients and for society.
