Published scientific evidence demonstrate the current spread of healthcare misinformation in the most popular social networks and unofficial communication channels. Up to 40% of the medical websites were identified reporting inappropriate information, moreover being shared more than 450,000 times in a 5-year-time frame. The phenomenon is particularly spread in infective diseases medicine, oncology and cardiovascular medicine. The present document is the result of a scientific and educational endeavor by a worldwide group of top experts who selected and analyzed the major issues and related evidence-based facts on vein and lymphatic management...

BACKGROUND: Adjustable compression wraps (ACWs) may represent the future of compression for the treatment of the most severe stages of chronic venous diseases and lymphedema. We tested in five healthy subjects: Coolflex® from Sigvaris®; Juzo wrap 6000®, Readywrap® from Lohmann Rauscher®; Juxtafit® and Juxtalite® from Medi®, Compreflex® from Sigvaris®. The objective of this pilot study was to study the stretch, interface pressures, and Static Stiffness Index (SSI) of the six ACWs applied to the leg...

BACKGROUND: Graduated compression stocking (GCS) is one the most widely used intervention methods in decreasing venous stasis and preventing deep venous thrombosis in hospital patients. However, changes of femoral vein speed after using GCS, combining ankle pump movement or not, and the efficacy difference of GCS among brands are still unclear. METHODS: In this single-center cross-sectional study, healthy participants were assigned to wear one of the three different GCSs (type A, B and C) on both legs...

BACKGROUND: Continued blood flow in the aneurysm sac after repair, also known as endoleak, can occur after both open and endovascular popliteal aneurysm repair (EPAR) with risk for aneurysm sac enlargement. Primary aims were to investigate aneurysm sac growth and the presence and classification of endoleak after EPAR using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). METHODS: Cross-sectional study of patients receiving EPAR with expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) covered stent-grafts between 1st of January 2009 and 1st of February 2019 at a tertiary referral endovascular center...

BACKGROUND: The arteriovenous malformation (AVM) represents a complicated pathology with high recurrence risk. This study aimed at reporting the clinical outcome of embolotherapy in treating extremity AVMs and exploring the potential risk factors for the recurrence of the lesion. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective review of the electronic medical records database was performed to enroll extremity AVM cases. Based on the follow-up findings, patients were allocated into the recurrence group and non-recurrence group...

BACKGROUND: We aimed to study the discriminative power of 3 comorbidity scores for predicting 5-year survival after the elective repair of aorto-iliac aneurysms (AAA). METHODS: 444 patients with AAA undergoing elective repair (33% open and 67% endovascular) between 2000 and 2020 were reviewed. The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and subsequent adjustments by Schneeweiss, Quan and Armitage, the Modified Frailty Index (MFI) and the American Society of Anesthesiologists Score (ASA) were calculated from preoperative data...

BACKGROUND: Measurement of volume has the potential to detect subtle growth not recognized in the current surveillance paradigm of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Currently available three-dimensional ultrasound allows for estimation of AAA volume, but for most patients, the AAA extends beyond the ultrasound field-of-view and only allows visualization of a partial AAA volume. A new extended field-of-view three-dimensional ultrasound protocol (XFoV US) has been found to improve the proportion of patients with visualization of the full AAA volume...

Varicose veins (VVs) mostly represent benign disease. However, in some cases, they can lead to serious complications including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Besides deteriorated blood flow caused by VVs inflammation is most probably a common denominator of VVs and DVT, which promotes a procoagulant state and thrombus formation also in deep veins. Patients with VVs have increased levels of interleukins, the most specific inflammatory markers of vascular wall inflammation that promote coagulation...

BACKGROUND: Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in 65-year-old males reduces aneurysm related mortality. Infrarenal aortic diameter (IAD) has been shown to correlate to body surface area (BSA) which could influence diagnostic criteria for AAA. This study investigates whether AAA growth rates are also dependent on BSA, as that might have potential effects on surveillance of small AAAs. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, single center cohort study of 301 men with screening detected AAA between 2010-2017 with surveillance to 2021...

BACKGROUND: Little data are available on real-life long-term treatments after a venous thromboembolism (VTE), and on recurrent VTE or bleeds events during treatments. METHODS: We investigated the complications occurring during follow-up (FU) in VTE patients who had received the treatment decisions given by the clinical centers, active in 7 countries (China, Czechia, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Tunisia), which participated in the international, prospective, observational WHITE study...

BACKGROUND: This prospective observational study was aimed at assessing early outcomes of inpatients with isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (IDDVT) and coexisting bleeding. METHODS: Patients received enoxaparin 4000 units daily or intermediate doses, and ultrasound surveillance (US). Primary outcomes were extension to the popliteal vein (PDVT) or symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE), bleeding complications during the treatment and the composite of PDVT and bleeding complications...

BACKGROUND: In this study, the early and mid-term outcomes of the use of the Mills valvulotome in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) undergoing infrainguinal in-situ saphenous vein bypass were investigated. METHODS: From January 2018 until December 2019, 153 consecutive CLTI patients from 7 centers have been treated with infrainguinal in-situ saphenous vein bypass. In all patients the devalvulation of the great saphenous vein (GSV) was obtained with the use of the HYDRO LeMaitre® valvulotome (LeMaitre Vascular, Burlington, MA, USA)...

A properly performed pulse examination can provide an accurate assessment of the arterial circulation to the lower extremity. However, increasing availability of non-invasive vascular laboratory testing, CT-angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and catheter-based arteriography has deemphasized the use and teaching to student and resident physicians of classic techniques to examine lower extremity pulses. Clinical evaluation and accurate pulse examination may eliminate the need for these often unnecessary and expensive tests to evaluate arterial insufficiency...

BACKGROUND: The efficacy and tolerability of the new micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) 1000 mg once-daily chewable formulation in comparison with the established MPFF 500 mg conventional tablet at the same daily dose are unknown. METHODS: CHEWY was an international, multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, parallel group, non-inferiority phase III study conducted in adult patients with symptomatic chronic venous disease (CVD). Patients were randomly allocated to MPFF 1000 mg chewable or MPFF 2x500 mg daily treatment...

With the aim of obtaining a map which is useful as a diagnostic tool and therapeutical orientation, complementing the written report of duplex ultrasound venous study, Latin-American Scientific Societies of Phlebology, Vascular Surgery and Vascular Imaging were invited to participate, through their regional representatives, to the First Consensus of Superficial and Perforating Venous Mapping. A consensus process using a modified Delphi method was carried out. An International Working Group was formed, which developed a Prototype of the Venous Mapping that worked as a starting point for consensus, and was presented in a first virtual meeting of 54 experts (societies' representatives) when the methodology was explained...

BACKGROUND: The purpose is to evaluate the follow-up outcomes after femoro-popliteal stenting with Cook Zilver PTX in a multicenter experience. METHODS: Collected data from four Units were retrospectively joined and analyzed considering Zilver PTX deployed from August 2009 according to the instruction for use. Patient demographics, preoperative comorbidities, Rutherford classification, arterial characteristics and stent data were considered. Target lesion revascularization (TLR) was defined as reintervention performed for ≥50% diameter stenosis after recurrent clinical symptoms...
