Varicose veins are a very frequent disorder with prevalence in our adult population between 14% for large varices and 59% for small teleangiectasias. Subjective symptoms may be very non-specific. The term “chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)” defines functional abnormalities of the venous system producing advanced symptoms like oedema, skin changes or leg ulcers.[Abstract] - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Varicose veins
Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and tortuous (twisted). When veins become varicose, the leaflets of the valves no longer meet properly, and the valves do not work (valvular incompetence). This allows blood to flow backwards and they enlarge even more.[Article] - Robert T. Eberhardt, MD; Joseph D. Raffetto, MD Contemporary Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
The most common manifestations of chronic venous disease are dilated cutaneous veins, such as telangiectases and reticular veins, and varicose veins. Although the term CVI is often used to exclude uncomplicated varicose veins, varicose veins have incompetent valves with increased venous pressure leading to progressive dilation and tortuosity.[Article] - Oklu R1, Habito R, Mayr M, Deipolyi AR, Albadawi H, Hesketh R, Walker TG, Linskey KR, Long CA, Wicky S, Stoughton J, Watkins MT. J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2012 Jan;23(1):33-9; quiz 40. doi: 10.1016/j.jvir.2011.09.010. Pathogenesis of varicose veins
In the past decade, there has been a shift from initial theories based on purely mechanical factors to hypotheses pointing to complex molecular changes causing histologic alterations in the vessel wall and extracellular matrix..[Abstract] - Lim CS1, Davies AH. Br J Surg. 2009 Nov;96(11):1231-42. doi: 10.1002/bjs.6798. Pathogenesis of primary varicose veins
Valvular incompetence and reflux are common features of primary varicose veins, and have long been thought to be their cause. Recent evidence, however, suggests that changes in the vein wall may precede valvular dysfunction.[Abstract] - Pfisterer L, König G, Hecker M, Korff T. Vasa. 2014 Mar;43(2):88-99. doi: 10.1024/0301-1526/a000335. Pathogenesis of varicose veins – lessons from biomechanics
The development of varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency is preceded by and associated with the pathophysiological remodelling of the venous wall. Recent work suggests that an increase in venous filling pressure is sufficient to promote varicose remodelling of veins by augmenting wall stress and activating venous endothelial and smooth muscle cells. In line with this, known risk factors such as prolonged standing or an obesity-induced increase in venous filling pressure may contribute to varicosis.[Abstract] - Somers P1, Knaapen M. Angiology. 2006 Oct-Nov;57(5):546-55. The histopathology of varicose vein disease
Several theories exist from incompetence of the valves to a disturbance of the smooth muscle cells (SMC) and extra-cellular matrix (ECM) organization providing a weakness of the venous wall.[Abstract] - Raffetto JD1, Khalil RA. Phlebology. 2008;23(2):85-98. doi: 10.1258/phleb.2007.007027. Mechanisms of varicose vein formation: valve dysfunction and wall dilation
In varicose veins, there are reflux and incompetent valves as well as vein wall dilation. Primary structural changes in the valves may make them ‘leaky’, with progressive reflux causing secondary changes in the vein wall. Alternatively, or concurrently, the valves may become incompetent secondary to structural abnormalities and focal dilation in vein wall segments near the valve junctions, and the reflux ensues as an epiphenomenon. The increase in venous pressure causes structural and functional changes in the vein wall that leads to further venous dilation. [Abstract] - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chronic venous insufficiency
Chronic venous insufficiency or CVI is a medical condition where the veins cannot pump enough oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. [Article] - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Veneuze insufficiëntie
De belangrijkste oorzaak voor veneuze insufficiëntie is het slecht functioneren van de kleppen in het veneuze systeem. Dit kan voorkomen bij spataders of door een aanlegstoornis (afwezige kleppen). Veneuze insufficiëntie kan veroorzaakt wordt door louter afwijkingen in de oppervlakkige venen: aan de benen zijn dat vooral de vena saphena magna (VSM) en vena saphena parva (VSP) en zijtakken daarvan. Deze gevallen kunnen behandeld worden door uitschakelen van de getroffen vaten. Als er belangrijke terugstroom van bloed is in het diepveneuze systeem (zoals vena femoralis of vena poplitea), is behandeling moeizaam.[Article] - Brake M1, Lim CS, Shepherd AC, Shalhoub J, Davies AH. J Vasc Surg. 2013 Mar;57(3):860-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jvs.2012.10.102. Pathogenesis and etiology of recurrent varicose veins
Recurrent varicose veins (RVV) occur in 13% to 65% of patients following treatment, and remain a debilitating and costly problem. RVV were initially thought largely to be due to inadequate intervention, however, more recently neovascularization and other factors have been implicated. Three types of RVV have been reported, namely residual veins, true RVV, and new varicose veins, although the definitions varied between studies. Neovascularization is an established and common cause of RVV.[Abstract] - Vascular Disease Foundation Chronic venous insufficiency
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common cause of
leg pain and swelling, and is commonly associated with
varicose veins. Over time, CVI may result in varicose veins, swelling and discoloration of the legs, itching and the development of ulcers near the ankles. [Article]

Horse-chestnut seed extract paardekastanje (Aesculus hippocastanum)
- Pittler MH1, Ernst E. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2012 Nov 14;11:CD003230. doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD003230.pub4 Horse chestnut seed extract for chronic venous insufficienc
The evidence presented suggests that HCSE is an efficacious and safe short-term treatment for CVI. However, several caveats exist and larger, definitive RCTs are required to confirm the efficacy of this treatment option.[Abstract] - Siebert U1, Brach M, Sroczynski G, Berla K. Int Angiol. 2002 Dec;21(4):305-15. fficacy, routine effectiveness, and safety of horsechestnut seed extract in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and large observational studies
Based on meta-analyses of RCTs and observational studies, HCSE appears to be an effective and safe treatment for CVI. Further RCTs and carefully conducted large-scale observational studies are required to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of HCSE in routine settings.[Abstract] - Arch Dermatol. 1998 Nov;134(11):1356-60. Horse-chestnut seed extract for chronic venous insufficiency. A criteria-based systematic review
These data imply that HCSE is superior to placebo and as effective as reference medications in alleviating the objective signs and subjective symptoms of CVI. Thus, HCSE represents a treatment option for CVI that is worth considering.[Article] - Suter A1, Bommer S, Rechner J. Adv Ther. 2006 Jan-Feb;23(1):179-90. Treatment of patients with venous insufficiency with fresh plant horse chestnut seed extract: a review of 5 clinical studieshttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16644618
Four clinical trials in patients with chronic venous insufficiency and 1 study in patients with varicose veins demonstrated the effectiveness of these preparations through the objective measure of reduction in lower leg edema and the subjective alleviation of leg pain, heaviness, and itching. Safe, well tolerated, and acceptable to patients, the fresh plant HCSE preparation Aesculaforce offers a real alternative in the treatment of patients with mild to moderate venous insufficiency.[Abstract] - Diehm C, Trampisch HJ, Lange S, Schmidt C. Lancet. 1996 Feb 3;347(8997):292-4. Comparison of leg compression stocking and oral horse-chestnut seed extract therapy in patients with chronic venous insufficiency
These results indicate that compression stocking therapy and HCSE therapy are alternative therapies for the effective treatment of patients with oedema resulting from chronic venous insufficiency.[Abstract] - Diehm C, Vollbrecht D, Amendt K, Comberg HU. Vasa. 1992;21(2):188-92. Medical edema protection–clinical benefit in patients with chronic deep vein incompetence. A placebo controlled double blind study
Treatment with an edema protective agent of the horse chestnut seed extract type is thus a useful adjunct to compression therapy. The tested preparation were well tolerated.[Abstract] - Bisler H, Pfeifer R, Klüken N, Pauschinger P. Dtsch Med Wochenschr. 1986 Aug 29;111(35):1321-9. Effects of horse-chestnut seed extract on transcapillary filtration in chronic venous insufficiency
It is concluded that Venostasin has an inhibitory effect on oedema formation via a decrease in transcapillary filtration and thus improves oedema-related symptoms in venous diseases of the legs.[Abstract] - Rehn D, Unkauf M, Klein P, Jost V, Lücker PW. Arzneimittelforschung. 1996 May;46(5):483-7. Comparative clinical efficacy and tolerability of oxerutins and horse chestnut extract in patients with chronic venous insufficiency
Subjective criteria were descriptively evaluated. HR (1000 mg/d) was proven to be equivalent or better, reducing the leg volume (AUB0-18) by -5273 +/- 11418 ml.d compared to -3187 +/- 10842 ml.d under HR (1000 mg/d and 500 mg/d), and -3004 +/- 7429 ml.d under HCE-treatment. Both compounds exhibit a substantial carry-over effect. The maintenance posology of HR is able to stabilize the therapeutic obtained under initial dose conditions.[Abstract] - Ottillinger B1, Greeske K. BMC Cardiovasc Disord. 2001;1:5. Rational therapy of chronic venous insufficiency–chances and limits of the therapeutic use of horse-chestnut seeds extract
Due to its ability to close the venular endothelial gaps, HCSE seems to be a suitable and protecting therapy during the early stages of CVI. In later more severe stages compression therapy is indicated.[Article]

Clinical studies have shown that it can reduce oedema of the legs in CVI, reduce the incidence of deep venous thrombosis during long haul flights and enhance the healing of venous ulcers and haemorrhoidal episodes by topical application and/or oral administration. This review highlights clinical research findings on the safety, compliance and efficacy of Pycnogenol, including its use in combination products.[Abstract] - Arcangeli P. Fitoterapia. 2000 Jun;71(3):236-44. Pycnogenol in chronic venous insufficiency
Approximately 60% of patients treated with Pycnogenol(R) experienced a complete disappearance of edema (the most rapidly disappearing symptom) and pain at the end of the treatment, while almost all the patients reported a reduction in leg heaviness which disappeared in approximately 33% of patients. These changes were statistically significant. No effect was observed in the placebo-treated subjects. No effect on the venous blood flow was observed in either of the experimental groups.[Abstract] - Koch R. Phytother Res. 2002 Mar;16 Suppl 1:S1-5. Comparative study of Venostasin and Pycnogenol in chronic venous insufficiency
Pycnogenol significantly reduced the circumference of the lower limbs and significantly improved subjective symptoms. Furthermore, Pycnogenol significantly decreased cholesterol and LDL values in the blood, whereas HDL remained unaffected.[Abstract] - Belcaro G, Dugall M, Luzzi R, Hosoi M, Corsi M.

Pycnogenol seems to decrease passive dilatation and stretching and gives vein walls a greater tonic recovery and elasticity that allows the vein to recover its original shape after dynamic stresses.[Abstract] - Petrassi C, Mastromarino A, Spartera C. Phytomedicine. 2000 Oct;7(5):383-8. PYCNOGENOL in chronic venous insufficiency
The safety of use of Pycnogenol is demonstrated by the lack of side effects or changes in blood biochemistry and hematologic parameters. Pycnogenol can be therefore recommended both for prevention and treatment of CVI and related veno-capillary disturbances.[Abstract]

In the group of patients who were additionally given drugs, a significant reduction of all parameters was found: leg circumference was reduced by 3% and diameters of veins were reduced by 15% on average, the reduction of the subjective criteria was by 34%. Provided the veins were prevented from further extension through progressive varicosis, apparent beneficial clinical effects can be achieved by administration of beta-hydroxyethyl rutosides.[Abstract] - Renton S1, Leon M, Belcaro G, Nicolaides AN.

Diosmin
- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Daflon
This medicine is a venotonic (it increases venous tone) and a vasculoprotector (it increases resistance in small blood vessels).[1] It is recommended[by whom?] for treating venous circulation disorders (swollen legs, pain, restless legs) and for treating acute hemorrhoidal attack. For venous insufficiency, the dosage is 2 tablets daily. For acute hemorrhoidal attack, the dosage is 6 tablets daily for 4 days, followed by 4 tablets daily over the next 3 days.[Article] - Maksimovi? ZV1, Maksimovi? M, Jadranin D, Kuzmanovi? I, Andonovi?

Angiology. 2000 Mar;51(3):197-205. Three treatments for chronic venous insufficiency: escin, hydroxyethylrutoside, and Daflon
Additional independent effects that would be useful for the treatment of CVI are that they reduce permeability and fragility; HR, Daflon, and perhaps escin increase venous tone; escin inhibits hyaluronidase; Daflon and probably HR are attracted to the veins. With regard to similarity, no differences in effect have been established among these phlebotonics.[Abstract]
