Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) with Ulcus Cruris

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) with Ulcus Cruris

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) denotes the stages of chronic venous weakness in the lower extremities. According to Widmer, the following stages are defined, which can be passed through in the course of years, particularly if left untreated: I – corona phlebectatica, ankle edema; II – trophic skin lesions, dermatitis, hyperpigmentation, dermatoliposclerosis; IIIa – healed ulcus cruris venos...

Microangiopathy of cutaneous blood and lymphatic capillaries in chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).

The severity of microangiopathy in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) determines the extent of the trophic disturbances of the skin. Resulting from valvular incompetence of deep and/or perforating veins and the accompanying venous outflow obstruction caused by deep venous thrombosis (DVT), the increased ambulatory venous pressure heads are transmitted retrograde into the microvasc...

Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency

I read with interest the article published by Kugler et al. [1]. Regarding the duplex ultrasound examination the author didn't consider the paper by Zamboni et al. [2] published in December 2011 on international angiology. In this document the authors noted that a high prevalence ranging from 62% to 100% of obstructive lesions has been found by some teams in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS...

Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency.

The initial peer-review publications by Zamboni and colleagues described cerebral venous circulatory patterns in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) that were distinct from those observed in a population without neurologic disease and concluded that interventions to modify these could provide a potential therapy for the disease development and/or its associated symptoms. These publications co...
