Ultrasound-Guided Injection of Polidocanol Microfoam in the Management of Venous Leg Ulcers

Abstract

The use of UIPM to selectively and progressively sclerose incompetent veins produced by venous hypertension is highly effective to achieve a stable ulcer healing with minimal invasion, even in elderly patients. Recurrences are easily treatable with this approach. This technique may become a first-line treatment in the management of leg venous ulcers.
