Gl. Bassi Trieste Italy info@tessaristudi.it

22 1. The use of 99m TcO 4- is not a correct procedure for analysing the pathway of the sclerosant foam in the vascular system. 2. Other procedures are needed to point out - a possible cronic polmonary damage, - where the sclerosant drug ends up -The sclerosant drug does not damage the lungs Prof. LORENZO TESSARI Fond. Gl. Bassi Trieste Italy info@tessaristudi.it

23 Effects of Sclerosants on Coagulation and Cell Function In Vitro Studies of Cell Damage Kurosh Parsi, Thomas Exner, David Connor, Joanne Joseph & David Ma *Plasma proteins particularly albumin neutralise sclerosants. *STS is 10 times more effective in saline than in blood. *Pol is 50 times more effective in saline than in blood. Bologna 2008 By kind courtesy of Dr. K Parsi & K. Mayers

24 In Vitro Studies - Postulated Foam is more effective than liquid possibly due to displacement of blood resulting in less exposure to serum albumin Foam sclerotherapy may be more effective if blood is displaced by saline Post-sclerotherapy DVT is possibly uncommon due to neutralisation of sclerosants by albumin in deep vein Bologna 2008 By kind courtesy of Dr. K Parsi & K.

67 PREAMBLE Superficial venous insufficiency of the lower limbs is now considered a multi-focal disease Nowadays any kind of interventions for varicose veins of the lower limbs must be based upon accurate CD maps Prof. LORENZO TESSARI Fond. Gl. Bassi Trieste Italy info@tessaristudi.it

68 Extrasaphenous refluxes It was already clearly demonstrated that at least the 45% of the varicose veins of the greater saphenous vein (GSV) do not originate from sapheno-femoral junction (SFJ) reflux In spite of a complete SFJ and GSV truncular continence, other kinds of refluxes, coming from the groin, from the perineal and/or gluteal regions can appear.
