Purpose Percutaneous endovenous iliac stenting has emerged as a new modality in the treatment of advanced chronic venous insufficiency with outflow obstruction. However, the effect of this intervention on the quality of life remains unclear. We examined the impact of iliac venous stenting for outflow obstruction as compared to conservative medical management on the quality of life in severe chronic venous insufficiency patients. Methods Medical records of all patients with CEAP class 5 and 6 disease (N = 172) who underwent ilio-caval venography with intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) at a single institution over a seven-year period, were reviewed for this case–control study. Quality of life evaluation was performed utilizing the Chronic Venous Insufficiency Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) one year after the index procedure. Results Of the 172 severe chronic venous insufficiency patients, 109 were stented and 63 patients were treated medically based on their venography and IVUS results. The indication for stenting was confirmation of IVUS determined surface area or diameter outflow stenosis of greater than 50% within the common or external iliac venous systems. Eighty patients (47%) responded with completed CIVIQ-20 questionnaires for analysis. Of these, 47 were from the stented group and 33 from the non-stented group. At least moderate persistent pain or discomfort post-procedure was reported by 20 (43%) stented group patients and 19 (58%) non-stented group patients. Scores for all the other criteria in the CIVIQ-20 were similar between the groups. The mean total CIVIQ-20 score was 45.23 and 47.13, respectively, in stented group and non-stented group patients. ( p = 0.678). Conclusion There was no significant difference in the quality of life reported by CEAP 5 and 6 patients who underwent iliac venous stenting versus those who were treated medically for presumed iliac outflow obstruction. Prospective studies are needed to determine the true value of iliac venous stenting based on IVUS criteria in the management advanced chronic venous insufficiency.

AbstractIntroduction. Assessment of quality of life in patients suffering from chronic venous disease of the lower extremity who were treated with compression garments. Methods. Patients of both sexes aged 30-75 years with chronic venous disease and at least varices, but without active ulceration, were qualified for the study. To assess the quality of life, the CIVIQ-20 questionnaire was used before and after 4 weeks of compression therapy with second class compression. Results. The combined results of the CIVIQ scale rose from 61.49% before compression to 75.17% after 4 weeks of compression therapy (p 0.01). No correlation was found between sex, age, career status or type of work and the averaged CIVIQ score. Conclusions. Compression therapy with special garments significantly improves the quality of life in patients with chronic venous disease. Larger studies are still needed in this field.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the available evidence on the impact of pain on daily life of people with venous ulcers. Method: this is a study of integrative review followed the following steps: establishing the hypothesis and objectives, establishing criteria for inclusion or exclusion of articles, defining the information to be extracted from the selected items, results analysis, discussion and presentation of results. To select the articles we used three databases, Medline, Cinahl and ISI Web of Knowledge and the sample consisted of 18 articles. Results: in the works that were analyzed showed evidence that the pain of venous ulcers influences the patient's daily life. Among people with venous ulcers, we found that the pain is a major aggravating to decreased quality of life, especially as regards the loss of mood, sleep disturbance, social isolation and loss of physical mobility. Conclusion: The pain of the wound can lead to a huge impact on the daily life of a person and, as such, the need of each patient must be acknowledged and considered in a holistic manner.

Objective The aim of this study was to observe the change of the ankle joint range of motion, the muscle strength values measured with an isokinetic dynamometer, pain scores, quality of life scale, and venous return time in chronic venous insufficiency diagnosed patients by prospective follow-up after 12-week exercise program including isokinetic exercises. Methods The patient group of this study comprised 27 patients (23 female, 4 male) who were diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. An exercise program including isokinetic exercise for the calf muscle was given to patients three days per week for 12 weeks. At the end of 12 weeks, five of the patients left the study due to inadequate compliance with the exercise program. As a result, control data of 22 patients were included. Ankle joint range of active motion, isokinetic muscle strength, pain, quality of life, and photoplethysmography measurements were assessed before starting and after the exercise program. Results Evaluating changes of the starting and control data depending on time showed that all isokinetic muscle strength measurement parameters, range of motion, and overall quality of life values of patients improved. Venous return time values have also increased significantly ( p < 0.05). Conclusion In conclusion, increase in muscle strength has been provided with exercise therapy in patients with chronic venous insufficiency. It has been determined that the increase in muscle strength affected the venous pump and this ensured improvement in venous function and range of motion of the ankle. In addition, it has been detected that pain reduced and quality of life improved after the exercise program.

Personalized Approach

Introduction. Chronic venous insufficiency is one of the most common diseases, so finding the best treatment options is one of the most urgent tasks of surgery. One of the methods of implementing this direction is to apply a personalized approach. The aim of the study is to improve surgical care for patients with VVPC by introducing a personalized approach.Materials and methods. The study was based on clinical observations and special studies in 428 patients with uBVNC in outpatient settings. All of those surveyed were women. The average age of the patients was 42.3 ± 15.5 years. All patients were operated on — endovasal laser coagulation (EVLk) was performed in the traditional way. Clinical examination of patients, as well as special methods of research was carried out. A questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life of patients. The peculiarity of the study was the use of social and hygienic methods: survey, psychological testing, expert. Statistical analysis and mathematical processing of results were carried out with the help of modern computer technologies based on the Statisticala 6 application package.Results. It has been established that over the past five years in the Ivanovo region there has been an increase in the incidence of vessels of the lower extremities. The frequency of varicose veins exceeds 47 per 100 patients examined. The desire to perform surgery in the nonstate health sector is observed in 9.8 cases. In 85.0% of patients with VBNC, received for surgical treatment, have a lack of preparedness. Their information, clinical and psychological level is 65.0–89.0% of the due and direct influence on the formation of an unfavorable result.Conclusion. Thus, the implementation of a personalized approach to the surgical treatment of patients with chronic venous insufficiency by laser coagulation provides on a par with the reliable obliteration of altered veins the fastest clinical recovery of patients, improvement of their quality of life, satisfaction with results, good hemodynamic and cosmetic effects.
