Abstract
This case report presents the successful treatment of a 47-year-old male patient with a venous ulcer of the leg associated to deep and superficial venous insufficiency. The patient presented with a non-healing venous ulcer on his leg, ocher dermatitis and heaviness of the leg, which interfered with work activities. Duplex ultrasound revealed deep venous insufficiency (popliteal vein), incompetence of the great saphenous and indirect perforating veins. The treatment involved ablation of the great saphenous vein using Flebogrif®, a specific mechanochemical ablation device. Following the treatment, the patient experienced significant improvement in his symptoms and venous ulcer was completely healed 9 weeks after the procedure and one year after that. Duplex ultrasound performed after the treatment confirmed the successful closure of the great saphenous vein. This case report highlights the effectiveness of mechanochenical ablation in the management of venous ulcers, even when deep venous insufficiency is involved.
