Abstract

Background To assess if suppression of the oscillatory component of reflux may improve the inflammatory phenotype in chronic venous disease (CVD). Materials and methods From 193 CVD patients, we selected 54 (13 males, 41 females, CEAP C2-4EpAsPr) for a blinded, case-control prospective investigation. All of them underwent echo-color-Doppler assessment of reflux parameters. In the same patients a blood systemic assessment of 19 inflammatory cytokines was obtained. Follow-up lasted 6 months. The control group (C) was constituted by 21 homogenous CVD patients, unselected and not operated. Results Forty-one of 54 patients were excluded from post-operative evaluation in consequence of reported new other inflammatory episodes. Twenty-three (23) completed the follow up, showing the suppression of the oscillatory component of venous reflux; 4 of the 19 cytokines decreased significantly after the procedure: Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNFα), Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF), Interferon gamma-induced Protein 10 (IP-10), Interleukin-15 (IL-15). Particularly, TNFα and IP-10 even returned inside a physiological range: 5.3 ± 2.7 to 4.2 ± 2.2 pg/mL (P < 0.003) and from 303.7 ± 168.4 to 254.0 ± 151.6 pg/mL (P < 0.024), respectively.
