Abstract

Introduction
Venous diseases broadly fall into two categories: chronic venous insufficiency and veno-occlusive disease, including superficial thrombophlebitis, and deep venous thrombosis
Untreated venous insufficiency in the deep or superficial system causes progressive manifestations as venous ulcers which are distressing for patients, expensive to manage, and challenging to treat.
The gold standard for venous ulcer treatment is compression therapy, which heals a high proportion of cases within 6 months; however, the problem is the high recurrence of the condition
Sclerotherapy has been advocated extensively to improve cosmetic appearance and to reduce the associated symptoms such as pain and burning
This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of foam sclerotherapy injection into peri ulcer veins added to the conservative compression therapy versus the adoption of compression therapy alone in healing chronic active venous leg ulcers.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of foam sclerotherapy injection into periulcer veins added to conservative treatment with compression therapy versus the adoption of conservative treatment with compression therapy only in healing chronic active venous leg ulcers.
