USA, FL (prHWY.com) September 14, 2012 - Florida, Sep 13, 2012 - Clinical and an associated duplex examination led to supplemental treatment with foam injection in all but three limbs. These three received only one treatment. In 60 of 75 limbs, the second treatment was the last required. Thus, 84% of limbs with recurrent varicose veins received satisfactory treatment with one or two sessions. The unhealed ulcer in a diabetic patient remained unhealed despite subsequent placement of an iliac venous stent, performance of a femorotibial arterial bypass and six treatments with foam injections. The ulcer eventually responded to biological dressings. The unimproved C4 limbs responded to direct perforator vein foam injections, as mentioned above. No paresthesias were encountered after foam injections.

Varicose Veins - There are several conservative methods for treating Varicose Veins that are available. One of the first options that a physician will have is to treat with prescription medications. Some over the counter medications, like anti-inflammatory medicines ibuprofen and aspirin can even help in treating.

There are many contributing factors believed to cause varicose veins. Gravity in combination with the pressure of body weight can cause varicose veins to develop. The legs are generally the most common location for the veins because they bear the brunt of the weight of the body, and all the while still the heart must pump blood from the upper part of the body to the lower parts.

Deep Vein Thrombosis - Veins are designed with a type of "valve" that only allows blood to travel one direction. When these valves become weak, blood can then flow in reverse, back into these valve veins, causing the vein to swell.

Some other strategies that do not involve any type of surgery include compression stockings, that can correct the reverse pressure in the blood flow. Also, weight loss and increasing muscle tone have been shown in some studies to help. Obviously the costs for these types of treatment are going to be lower because surgery is not involved.
