Popis: Target. Comparative assessment of the clinical efficacy of Aescusan I generation phlebotonics application in the complex treatment of patients with CVD.Material and methods. Analysis of treatment of 380 patients who applied for a phlebological appointment at the polyclinic department of SamSMU Clinics for the period from September 2017 to March 2019 was conducted. Group I (n = 104) included patients with even outpatient card numbers who were prescribed Troxevasin as a first-generation phlebotonic according to the scheme recommended by manufacturers Group II (n = 276) included patients with odd outpatient card numbers who were prescribed Aescusan (an extract of horse chestnut seeds Aesculus hippocastanum, active ingredient of which is aescin) as phlebotonics of the first generation according to the scheme recommended by the manufacturers. All patients were examined by a phlebologist before and after 1 course of treatment. Clinical efficacy of the therapy was assessed by the severity of the pain syndrome, feeling of heaviness, swelling and seizures using visual analogue scale (VAS). In addition, the effectiveness of conservative therapy was assessed through interviews and questionnaires. For a comparative assessment of the severity of edema syndrome, the lower limb circumference was measured at ankle level using a graduated tape.Results. No side effects were detected during clinical observation of the use of drugs. After the course of treatment, most of the observations showed positive dynamics. Changes in clinical symptoms (pain, seizures, heavy legs) in Group I were statistically unreliable (p>0.05). In the second group there was a decrease of pain syndrome intensity by 73,2%, a decrease of convulsions - by 63,5%, a decreaseof heaviness feeling – by 73,7%. In the course of the survey, 272 patients (98.5%) of Group II evaluated the treatment results as good, 4 patients (1.5%) did not notice any treatment results.In the course of repeated examination after the treatment 96,5% of doctors noted the result in Group II as good, 3,5% - as satisfactory. Conclusion. Thus, the results of complex treatment of patients with CVD showed that the use of 1st generation phlebotonics should be considered not only as pathogenetically justified, but also effective from the clinical point of view. Application of Aescusan drug leads to statistically significant reduction of clinical symptoms (subjective and objective) of lower limbs CVD.
