Intractable livedoid vasculopathy successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen

Abstract: We describe a new method for treating livedoid vasculopathy. The typical presentation of livedoid vasculopathy includes chronic, recurrent painful ulcers, satellite scar-like atrophy and telangiectasia involving the lower extremities. Histologically, these lesions show areas of ulceration and dermal vessel occlusion without frank inflammatory cell infiltration. There is currently no satisfactory therapy available for this disease. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has recently established itself as one of the most effec… Show more

“…Применяют антиаг-реганты (аспирин, дипиридамол), низкомолекулярный ге-парин, варфарин, пентоксифиллин [5,[19][20][21][22]; описан по-ложительный эффект при назначении активатора тканево-го плазминогена [6,7], гипербарической оксигенации [23,24], с частым рецидивированием после окончания терапии [25]. Имеются единичные сообщения об улучшении состо-яния после внутривенного введения метилпреднизолона [16], внутривенного иммуноглобулина человека [26,27].…”

“…A fisiopatologia da VL não está definida, sendo os processos vasculíticos e as vasculopatias trombo-oclusivas a base da doença na derme e epiderme. [1][2][3] Na histopatologia observam-se hialinização segmentar, proliferação endotelial, deposição de fibrina e formação de trombos na derme papilar e reticular superficial. Anormalidades na coagulação sistêmica parecem estar envolvidas em mecanismos fisiopatológi-cos. Têm sido descritas a deficiência concomitante de vitamina C, mutação do fator V e mutação do gene da protrombina.…”

“…Aspirina, pentoxifilina, prostaciclina, plasminogênio tissular ativado, heparina de baixo peso molecular, dipiridamol, ácido nicotínico, e fenformina têm sido testados. 2,3 Ho e Yang relataram dois pacientes com LV que responderam a psoralênicos sistêmicos com ultravioleta A e com methoxsalen. Hsiao e Chiu utilizaram danazol, um androgênio sintético com potencial efeito fibrinolí-tico, em sete pacientes.…”
