Case report: Treatment of chronic venous ulceration

Chronic venous insufficiency can lead to venous leg ulcerations, accounting for 80 % of all leg ulcerations. Treatment of the underlying CVI with surgical intervention and conservative compression therapy may not be enough to close a chronic venous ulcer alone. The SVS guidelines on managing venous ulcerations include comprehensive care, including compression therapy, local wound debridement, control of bioburden, wound moisture balance, and the possible use of advanced wound care products for chronic wounds.
