Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
To determine the efficacy and safety of ultrasonography (USG) guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) in the treatment of venous ulcer due to chronic venous insufficiency. Thirty patients with venous ulcers due to chronic venous insufficiency were treated solely by USG guided foam sclerotherapy and compression. Repeat UGFS was performed where indicated. No serious adverse outcomes were observed– specifically no thromboembolism, arterial injection, anaphylaxis or nerve damage. UGFS is safe, easy, cost effective, minimally invasive and non-surgical out- patient procedure for treating venous ulcers with 100% patient acceptance and very less morbidity compared to surgery.
