Urgent situations in phlebology--variceal bleeding and it's treatment.
The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic results of patients whose bleeding points were sutured and patients treated with compression sclerotherapy. In the years 1983-2000, 56 patients with profuse bleeding from varicose veins were treated. In a subgroup of patients with compression sclerotherapy--Fegan's way (32 patients), bleeding wound was healed completely within 7 days on average (5-13). All ulcers have healed within 2 months. The presented approach used is a surgical procedure (stitch, removal of large varicosities). Fegan's technique of compression sclerotherapy, with a detergent sclerosing solution (S.T.D.), enables to complete sclerotherapy of all pathological reflux points during 1-2 visits not only with good results, but also as a one-day surgery, keeping the patient work (Ref. 7).
