Radionuclide assessment of the treatment by compression of patients with chronic venous insufficiency.
A study was made of the efficacy of the compression medical tricot in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). To evaluate the treatment by compression, the authors, in addition to the clinical examination, used radionuclide techniques such as examination of the regional blood volumes and phleboscintigraphy. The results of the given work have shown that the compression products under test are effective agents for the treatment of CVI by compression which improves venous return and the patients' quality of life. The data obtained point out that in addition to the lowering of blood filling, the medical tricot influences the interstitial element of the edematous syndrome, leading to the elimination of the latter one. The use of elastic bandages creates the known difficulties (the necessity of the patient training in bandaging, complexity of creating an adequate bandage, quick depreciation). In view of this fact the use of the compression tricot which possesses the fixed grade of compression for a concrete form and stage of CVI is preferable in the therapy of chronic venous diseases.
