title: [Use of Gianturco-Wallace and tornado coils in perforators embolisation in chronic venous ulcers treatment].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Embolisation is a endovascular technique of vessels closure using embolisation material, which is applied into vessels throw catheter. As an embolisation material coils Gianturco-Wallace i Tornado (Cook) were used. Length and size of coils was determined individually during precedure.
  
  
  METHODS
  38 patients of Vascular Surgery Department and Radiology Department of Medical University in Wroclaw were treated by endovascular embolisation of insufficient perforators. Procedures were made on 40 limbs with post-thrombotic complex and venous ulcers (6th degree of CEAP classification). 68 endovascular procedures were made, 143 metal coils were used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Using endovascular method 85% of ulcers were comletely cured.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endovascular embolisation is safe and effective method of veonous ulcers curing. Itmay be used at outpatients clinic.
