New approaches in the medical management of venous ulceration.
This literature survey of the medical treatment of venous ulcers of the lower extremities discusses five classes of agents: (1) fibrinolytics, (2) hydroxyrutosides, (3) prostaglandins, (4) methylxanthines, and (5) others. The authors conclude that all these agents require further research.
