Promising results of ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy for treating chronic venous ulcers
Most patients with chronic venous ulcers (CEAP 6) treated with foam sclerotherapy achieved healing or significant improvement within 52 weeks. Healing was highly influenced by time until treatment, ulcer size, reduced dorsiflexion of the ankle and/or lymphedema presence, and the use of compression therapy.
