Description
Summary:Objective: To compare two different treatments for primary venous ulcers: a minimally invasive surgical technique for the haemodynamic correction of reflux, versus a traditional compression treatment. Method: From a cohort of 87 lower extremities affected by the first episode of venous ulcers, 45 mobile patients affected by primary chronic venous insufficiency were randomized to receive either the haemodynamic correction procedure (CHIVA) or compression treatment. Results: Mean follow up lasted one year. The rate of healing in the surgical group was 100% in a mean time of 29 days with a velocity of 2.86 mm2/day,and in the conservative group the rate was 96% in 61 days, with a velocity of 1.66 mm2/day (P
