american college of Phlebology guidelines treatment of refluxing accessory saphenous veins
Phlebology, 2017Co-Authors: Kathleen Gibson, Neil M Khilnani, Marlin Schul, Mark H MeissnerAbstract:The American College of Phlebology Guidelines Committee performed a systematic review of the literature regarding the clinical impact and treatment of incompetent accessory saphenous veins. Using an accepted process for guideline developments, we developed a consensus opinion that patients with symptomatic incompetence of the accessory great saphenous veins (anterior and posterior accessory saphenous veins) be treated with endovenous thermal ablation (laser or radiofrequency) or ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy to eliminate symptomatology (Recommendation Grade 1C).

angioscopy direct visualization of chronic venous occlusion may thurner syndrome and other applications in Phlebology
Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders, 2019Co-Authors: Mina Kang, Kurosh Parsi, David E Connor, Claudia Hurwitz, Tom Exner, Anes YangAbstract:Abstract Background Angioscopy has been widely used in the diagnosis and management of vascular disorders and in particular in coronary artery disease. However, few applications have been developed in the diagnosis or management of venous disease. Methods Endovenous angioscopy was performed to explore applications of this modality in Phlebology. Procedures were performed in a sterile setting. Access was obtained by ultrasound guidance and a 9F introducer sheath. An 8.5F videoscope was used to visualize target veins. Continuous saline irrigation was used to displace blood and to clear the visual field. Results Fifteen procedures were performed. We describe diagnostic or interventional applications of endovenous angioscopy that include diagnosis and characterization of chronic venous occlusion, deployment of venous stents, angioscopy-guided thrombectomy, foam sclerotherapy, and endovenous laser ablation. Chronic venous occlusion was observed to be fibrotic rather than thrombotic. Conclusions Endoscopic imaging of the venous system has great potential to improve access and to guide endovenous interventions. Chronic venous occlusion in post-thrombotic syndrome is a fibrotic process, and chronic venous fibrosis is a better description of the type of occlusion and should replace chronic venous thrombosis.

Phlebology training curriculum. A consensus document of the International Union of Phlebology (UIP)-2010.
International angiology : a journal of the International Union of Angiology, 2010Co-Authors: Kurosh Parsi, Steven Zimmet, C. Allegra, John J. Bergan, Antonios Gasparis, Nicos Labropoulos, Byung-boong Lee, G. M. Malouf, Hugo Partsch, Eberhard RabeAbstract:Phlebology has evolved as a distinct medical specialty in the past two decades. Many European countries have a strong tradition of excellence in the management of venous disease and Phlebology is a well-established medical sub-specialty in some parts of the continental Europe. By contrast, there are no coherent Phlebology training programs in most other countries and disjointed aspects of venous disease are taught under vascular surgery, vascular medicine, dermatology and haematology. More recently, countries such as Australia, New Zealand and the United States have been working towards establishing Phlebology as an independent medical specialty. Union Internationale de Phlebologie (UIP) is committed to the global expansion of knowledge in Phlebology and aims to provide a forum for advancement of science in this field, to foster the diffusion and exchange of ideas through scientific meetings and publications and to encourage research in various aspects of venous disease. The Union has been instrumental in giving Phlebology more exposure within the broader medical community and has a key role to play in establishing Phlebology as an independent specialty in member countries. What may be considered as the jurisdiction of Phlebology as an independent specialty may be debated. In this document we defined a phlebologist as a medical specialist who deals with all aspects of venous disease and hence the Curriculum contains core Phlebology topics as well as Phlebology Training Curriculum A Consensus Document of the International Union of Phlebology (UIP)-2010

Original Article European guidelines for sclerotherapy in chronic venous disorders
2016Co-Authors: E Rabe, P Kern, J L Gillet, J J Guex, F X Breu, A Cavezzi, A Frullini, Coleridge P Smith, C Hamel-desnos, B PartschAbstract:Aim: Sclerotherapy is the targeted chemical ablation of varicose veins by intravenous injection of a liquid or foamed sclerosing drug. The treated veins may be intradermal, subcutaneous, and/or transfascial as well as superficial and deep in venous malformations. The aim of this guideline is to give evidence-based recommendations for liquid and foam sclerotherapy. Methods: This guideline was drafted on behalf of 23 European Phlebological Societies during a Guideline Conference on 7–10 May 2012 in Mainz. The conference was organized by the German Society of Phlebology. These guidelines review the present state of knowledge as reflected in published medical literature. The regulatory situation of sclerosant drugs differs from country to country but this has not been considered in this document. The recommendations of this guideline are graded according to the American College of Chest Physicians Task Force recommendations on Grading Strength of Recommendations and Quality of Evidence in Clinical Guidelines. Results: This guideline focuses on the two sclerosing drugs which are licensed in the majority of the European countries, polidocanol and sodium tetradecyl sulphate. Other sclerosants are not discussed in detail. The guideline gives recom-mendations concerning indications, contraindications, side-effects, concentrations, volumes, technique and efficacy of liquid and foam sclerotherapy of varicose veins and venous malformations

emergencies in Phlebology
Hautarzt, 2004Co-Authors: F Pannier, E RabeAbstract:Venous diseases which require emergency care include deep venous thrombosis, superficial thrombophlebitis and variceal bleeding. The clinical diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis is often inaccurate, but can be confirmed in most cases with noninvasive tools such as sonography and d-dimer testing. Standard therapy includes compression of the leg and low molecular weight heparin in a therapeutic dosage. Superficial thrombophlebitis includes a variety of disease processes involving superficial veins, some thrombotic and others inflammatory. The most important is varicophlebitis or varicothrombosis, which involves the deep venous system in up to 20% of cases. Along with immediate surgical procedures when the thrombus reaches the deep venous system in the groin, short term therapy with low molecular weight heparin can be used. Variceal bleeding is a typical complication of severe varicose veins. It can be treated by elevating the leg and compression therapy. In addition sclerotherapy or ligation of the bleeding vein can be performed.

diagnosis and treatment of primary lymphedema consensus document of the international union of Phlebology iup 2013
International Angiology, 2013Co-Authors: Byung-boong Lee, Corradino Campisi, Mauro Andrade, Francesco Boccardo, Robert J Damstra, Mieke Flour, P L Antignani, N Bunke, I Fornercordero, Peter GloviczkiAbstract:Primary lymphedema can be managed effectively as a form of chronic lymphedema by a sequenced and targeted treatment and management program based around a combination of Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy (DLT) with compression therapy, when the latter is desired as an adjunct to DLT. Treatment in the maintenance phase should include compression garments, self-management, including self-massage, meticulous personal hygiene and skin care, in addition to lymphtransport-promoting excercises and activities, and, if desired, pneumatic compression therapy applied in the home. When conservative treatment fails, or gives sub-optimal outcomes, the management of primary lymphedema can be improved, where appropriate, with the proper addition of surgical interventions, either reconstructive or ablative. These two surgical therapies can be more effective when fully integrated with manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)-based DLT postoperatively. Compliance with a long-term commitment to MLD/DLT and particularly compression postoperatively is a critical factor in determining the success of any new treatment strategy involving either reconstructive or palliative surgery. The future of management of primary lymphedema has never been brighter with the new prospect of gene-and perhaps stem-cell oriented management.

diagnosis and treatment of primary lymphedema consensus document of the international union of Phlebology iup 2009
International Angiology, 2010Co-Authors: Byung-boong Lee, John J. Bergan, Corradino Campisi, Mauro Andrade, Francesco Boccardo, Robert J Damstra, Mieke Flour, Peter Gloviczki, J Laredo, Neil PillerAbstract:Primary lymphedema can be managed safely as one of the chronic lymphedemas by a proper combination of DLT with compression therapy. Treatment in the maintenance phase should include compression garments, self management including the compression therapy, self massage and meticulous personal hygiene and skin care in addition to lymph-transport promoting excercises. The management of primary lymphedema can be further improved with proper addition of surgical therapy either reconstructive or ablative. These two surgical therapies can be effective only when fully integrated with MLD-based DLT postoperatively. Compliance with a long-term commitment of DLT postoperatively is the most critical factor determining the success of any new treatment strategy with either reconstructive or palliative surgery. The future of management of primary lymphedema caused by truncular lymphatic malformation has never been brighter with the new prospect of gene-oriented management.

updated terminology of chronic venous disorders the vein term transatlantic interdisciplinary consensus document
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2009Co-Authors: Bo Eklof, M Perrin, Konstantinos T Delis, Robert B Rutherford, Peter GloviczkiAbstract:Non-uniform terminology in the world's venous literature has continued to pose a significant hindrance to the dissemination of knowledge regarding the management of chronic venous disorders. This VEIN-TERM consensus document was developed by a transatlantic interdisciplinary faculty of experts under the auspices of the American Venous Forum (AVF), the European Venous Forum (EVF), the International Union of Phlebology (IUP), the American College of Phlebology (ACP), and the International Union of Angiology (IUA). It provides recommendations for fundamental venous terminology, focusing on terms that were identified as creating interpretive problems, with the intent of promoting the use of a common scientific language in the investigation and management of chronic venous disorders. The VEIN-TERM consensus document is intended to augment previous transatlantic/international interdisciplinary efforts in standardizing venous nomenclature which are referenced in this article.

nomenclature of the veins of the lower limbs an international interdisciplinary consensus statement
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2002Co-Authors: Alberto Caggiati, John J. Bergan, Peter Gloviczki, Gorges Jantet, Colin P Wendellsmith, Hugo PartschAbstract:An agreement on anatomic terminology is the foundation for a common language in medical science and for an effective exchange of information. A thorough review of the literature has shown need for revision and extension of the official terminologia anatomica with regard to the veins of the lower limb. The foundation of this consensus document was laid by the faculty at a precongress meeting of The Fourteenth World Congress of the International Union of Phlebology (IUP), held in Rome on September 8-9, 2001, under the auspices of the IUP, the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA), and the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FICAT). The official names of some veins have been changed according to the guidelines of the FICAT. In addition, previously unnamed veins have received names relevant to their anatomy and clinical significance. Some of the terminology recommendations are innovative, but were judged to be correct by members of the committee.
