Neovalve construction in deep venous incompetence

Abstract

The modified technique applied to the second group seemed to improve valve continence results significantly. However, a longer follow-up period is required for the latter group to validate this technical enhancement.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency

“…Preliminary studies using this technique have been encouraging, with ulcer healing in 90% to 95% of patients with postthrombotic syndrome and active ulcers, but the studies are small. 124,125 The neovalve was competent in 95% to 100% of treated limbs at ≈2 years. Postoperative duplex scanning and APG showed significant improvement by guest on May 10, 2018 http://circ.ahajournals.org/ Downloaded from July 22, 2014 in hemodynamic parameters and muscle pump function.…”

“…There was a 95% ulcer healing rate and two recurrent ulcers. 409,410 These techniques are performed in cases that are highly selected and have no other known valvular restorative potential. The procedures must be considered technically challenging and still in need of corroborative data before wider dissemination.…”
