Kronik venöz yetmezlik ve güncel tedavi seçenekleri

Kronik venöz yetmezlik (KVY) hem kozmetik sebepler hem de komplikasyonları nedeniyle yaşam kalitesini düşüren epidemiyolojik ve sosyoekonomik sonuçlarıyla önemli bir sağlık sorunudur.  Konservatif tedavi ile semptomları azaltmak/kontrol altında tutmak ve komplikasyonları önlemek hedeflenirken, girişimsel tedavinin hedefi minimum komplikasyonla, venöz hipertansiyon kaynağının yok edilmesi, tüm varikozitlerin eksize edilmesi, tatminkar bir kozmetik sonuç sağlamaktır.  KVY tedavisi için klasik tedavi yöntemlerinin yanı sıra perkütan uygulamalar da yaygınlaşmaya devam etmektedir. Endovenöz lazer ablasyon tedavisi, radyofrekans ablasyon tedavisi, buhar balsyon tedavisi, siyanoakrilat ile ablasyon tedavisi ve sklerozan madde ile ablasyon bu güncel yöntemlerin en bilinenlerindendir. Daha az invaziv olan bu yöntemler daha erken taburculuk ve daha konforlu  bir tedavi süreci sunmaktadır. Ancak teknik açıdan yeni zorluklar ve yüksek maliyetler bu güncel seçeneklerin rutin bir uygulama olmasını engellemektedir. Öte yandan nüks ve başarılı sonuç anlamında kısa ve orta dönem sonuçları literatürde açık cerrahiye benzer olarak bildirilmeye başlamış olsa da henüz uzun dönem sonuçları için net veriler yoktur. Sonuçta, KVY için altın standart hala klasik açık cerrahi teknik olsa da yakın gelecekte değişik perkütan yöntemlerin ağırlık kazanacağı muhtemeldir.

Chronic venous insufficiency and current treatment options

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is an important health problem due to both epidemiological and socioeconomic outcomes that decrease the quality of life due to both cosmetic reasons and complications. When aiming to reduce / control symptoms and prevent complications with conservative treatment, the goal of interventional treatment is to achieve a satisfactory cosmetic result with minimal complications, elimination of venous hypertension, excision of all varicosities. In addition to classical treatment methods percutaneous applications comes to be widespread. Endovenous laser ablation therapy, radiofrequency ablation therapy, steam ablation therapy, cyanoacrylate ablation therapy and sclerosing agent ablation are the best known of these current methods. These less invasive methods offer earlier discharge and more comfortable treatment. However, new technical challenges  and high costs are the major problem of these new generation methods. On the other hand, short and mid-term results in terms of recurrence and successful outcome have been reported in the literature as similar to open surgery, but there is no clear data for long-term results yet. In conclusion, although the gold standard for CVI is still a classic open surgical technique it is likely that different percutaneous methods will be more popular in the near future.
