Respuesta :
compression stocking compliance does not impact reintervention or symptom change after iliac vein stenting in patients with moderate to severe lower extremity edema:
Medical compression stocking (MCS) therapy continues to be the mainstay of treatment for chronic venous disease, especially in patients with leg edema. This study evaluated the impact of postoperative MCS adherence in moderate-to-severe edema patients undergoing iliac vein stenting (IVS). METHODS:
Patients from a large tertiary care center who underwent IVS between August 2011 and June 2021 were analyzed. Symptoms were quantified using the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) and the Clinical Assessment Score (CAS). Inclusion criteria were moderate or severe lower extremity edema during IVS.
Patients were stratified into two cohorts: full adherence to postoperative compression therapy (MCS+) and no use of postoperative compression therapy (MCS-). RESULTS: Of her 376 patients who met study criteria, we identified 168 MCS+ patients and her 208 MCS patients. VCSS edema scores did not differ significantly between groups (p = 0.179).
