Compression therapy of vein and lymph vessel diseases of the lower extremities: a present day overview.

Compression therapy of vein and lymph vessel diseases of the lower extremities has been used for over 2 1/2 millenia. A short historic survey is given. The theoretic basis is to prevent edema by helping the pump action of the calf muscles reverse the pathologic caudad blood flow upward toward the vena cava inferior, and to attempt to fix a fresh thrombus in the calf veins and thus prevent pulmonary embolism. The available material, including bandages, elastic stockings, the technique, indications, complications, and especially allergic skin reactions are discussed.

Controversies and realities of therapy for varicosis.

Proponents of surgical eradication of varicose veins claim a high cure rate. Proponents of the conservative methods of multiple injections of sclerosing agents claim that this money-saving ambulatory method avoids hospitalization and loss of working time, that the end results are quite satisfactory and that any recurrences can be easily dealt with by reinjections. Both methods are effective. Both have their indications. Many surgeons use sclerotherapy after surgery as complementary therapy. Radical views recommending surgery or injections exclusively are contrary to the principles of good medical care and do injustice to the patient. A simple venographic technic demonstrating the status of the greater saphenous veins is described.
