BACKGROUND: The positive effects of perilesional sclerotherapy for venous leg ulcers is well documented. Although many patients with venous leg ulcers require oral anticoagulation or have had a deep vein thrombosis, the effects of these factors on perilesional sclerotherapy are unknown. The aim of this study was to review effects of oral anticoagulation and/or postthrombotic syndrome on perilesional sclerotherapy.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: 28 patients with venous leg ulcers were observed. 12/28 had a postthrombotic syndrome, 5/12 were on oral anticoagulants (phenprocoumon with INR 2-3). During each treatment session, 1 ml sclerosing foam (1:5, polidocanol 2 %, method of Tessari) was injected. Treatment was continued until all extrafascial veins in the 15cm surrounding the ulcer were closed.
RESULTS: Closure of the perilesional veins was achieved in all patients with 2.5 +/- 1.8 injections. In 10 of 28 patients (35.7 %), just one injection was needed. More injections were needed, both in patients with postthrombotic syndrome (3.3 +/- 2.1 vs. 1.8 +/- 1.3) and on anticoagulation with phenprocoumon (4.2 +/- 1.2 vs. 2.1 +/- 1.7). There were only two complications: an ascending phlebitis up to the accessory saphenous vein and a superficial erosion at an injection site which healed within 1 week.
CONCLUSIONS: Perilesional sclerotherapy with foam is a safe and efficient therapy for patients with chronic venous leg ulcers even with postthrombotic syndrome and/ or ongoing anticoagulation.
