| Popis: |
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is increasing in prevalence on a global scale. Current treatment options are limited to improving venous return, ablation of refluxing veins, and reducing outflow obstruction. A new bioprosthetic device, the VenoValve, may bridge the gap of treatment for patients with chronic venous insufficiency who have failed prior treatment. We demonstrate the treatment of a 72-year-old man with bilateral venous insufficiency and leg wounds using this device in his left femoral vein via an open anterior surgical approach. The patient had no postoperative complications, and a patent valve at 6 months. The VenoValve may be a viable option for patients with advanced chronic venous insufficiency. |
