title: [Compressive sclerotherapy monitored by ultrasound].
abstract: Echosclerotherapy and sonographic control of aimed sclerotherapy resp. is a major advance in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency. It facilitates not only aimed administration of highly active substances but ensures above all prevention of serious complications. Functional examination of the venous system helps to locate relatively accurately the sites of pathological reflux which are in the first place responsible for the development of the whole symptomatology and it prevents the administration of excessive amounts of sclerotizing substances into intact portions of the venous system. Similarly as Baccaglini et al. (1995) the authors achieved by compressive sclerotherapy with monitoring by ultrasound occlusion of up to 90% important reflux sites such as the saphenofemoral and saphenopopliteal orifice which are to a great extent responsible for serious clinical symptoms.
