[Effects of therapy with aminaftone on chronic venous and lymphatic stasis].
Following a short introduction on the physiopathology of the phlebo-lymphatic system, the results of a study carried out on 114 patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) treated at the Department of General Clinical Surgery and Surgical Therapy of the University of Ferrara are reported. These patients were subdivided into two random groups and treated with common phlebotonic drugs and aminaftone, respectively. Both groups were also subjected to those physical and medical measures that are usually adopted for the treatment of such patients. The therapeutic effects were assessed by comparing symptomatology before and after 90 days of treatment, both subjectively (patient's assessment of the symptoms by means of a scoring system) and with objective methods (measurements and echo-Doppler examinations). The differences between the two groups were statistically very significant in favour of patients who had taken aminaftone. Excellent results were obtained in the treatment of CVI as well as in lymphatic-related pathology (lymphedema).
