Journal ArticleDOI
Causes of venous ulceration: a new hypothesis
TL;DR: A new hypothesis linking these two findings proposes that the trapped while cells occlude the capillaries and result in ischaemia of the skin of the leg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency and prevention of symptomless deep-vein thrombosis in long-haul flights: a randomised trial.
John H. Scurr,Samuel J. Machin,Sarah Bailey-King,Ian J. Mackie,S McDonald,Philip D Coleridge Smith +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that symptomless DVT might occur in up to 10% of long-haul airline travellers, and wearing of elastic compression stockings during long- haul air travel is associated with a reduction in symptom less DVT.
Journal Article
Chronic venous disorders of the leg: epidemiology, outcomes, diagnosis and management. Summary of an evidence-based report of the VEINES task force. Venous Insufficiency Epidemiologic and Economic Studies.
Xavier Kurz,Susan R. Kahn,Lucien Abenhaim,Denis Clement,Lars Norgren,Ugo Baccaglini,A. Berard,John P. Cooke,A. Cornu-Thenard,M. Depairon,John A. Dormandy,I Durand-Zaleski,Gerry Fowkes,D. L. Lamping,Hugo Partsch,John H. Scurr,F. Zuccarelli +16 more
TL;DR: CVDL is an important public health problem, based on its prevalence, cost and impact on quality of life, and high-priority areas for research on CVDL are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of stripping the long saphenous vein in the treatment of primary varicose veins.
TL;DR: Data suggest that LSV reflux is more completely abolished by combining LSV stripping with SFJ ligation; stripping the LSV to the upper calf does not result in a higher incidence of injury to the saphenous nerve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-infrared spectroscopy in peripheral vascular disease.
TL;DR: Near‐infrared spectroscopy has been performed on the calf muscles of 38 subjects, 21 normal controls without vascular disease and 17 patients with peripheral vascular disease to indicate that oxygen consumption is reduced in peripheralascular disease.
