Abstract

Objective:

Veinviewer visualize peripheral vessels localized 8-10 mm deep under skin.  This device can be used as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic assistant which provides chronoprofilaxy, cost reduction and comfort for patient and clinician. Thus, a prospective and randomized study was designed to assess versatility of Veinviewer in various applications.

Method:

The study included overall 40 patients who referred to outpatient clinic. Group 1 patients underwent sclerotherapy with or without using Veinviewer. Group 2 patients underwent phlebectomy with or without using Veinviewer.

Results:

It was seen that duration of the process was significantly reduced; and easiness of the process and patient quality of life were improved in the patients who underwent sclerotherapy via using Veinviewer(p<0.05).

It was found that duration of the phlebectomy was significantly reduced; and convenience in the process of finding and removal of varicose vein were improved in the patients who underwent surgical varicose vein excision via using Veinviewer(p<0.05).

Conclusion: It was detected that use of Veinviewer in sclerotherapy and phelebectomy, improved the comfort of patient and clinician, provided shorter and easier procedure and markedly contributed to effectiveness of therapy.

Abstract

Giriş:
Veinviewer deri altında yer alan 8-10mm. derinliğindeki periferik damarları
görüntüleyen bir sistemdir. Bu cihaz venöz hastalıklarda, kronoprofilaktik,
maliyeti azaltan, hasta ve hekim için işlem konforu sağlayan yeni bir
diagnostik ve terapötik yardımcı olarak kullanılabilir. Bu amaçla, farklı
uygulamalarda Veinviewerin çok yönlülüğünü değerlendirmek için prospektif,
randomize klinik olan bu çalışma planlandı.

Yöntem:
Bu çalışma polikliniğe başvuran toplam 40 hastayı kapsamaktadır. Grup I,
skleroterapi yapılan toplam 20 hastayı kapsamaktadır. Grup II, flebektomi
yapılan 20 hastayı kapsamaktadır. Bu hastalardan da on kişiye Veinviewer
kılavuzluğunda, diğer on kişiye de Veinviewer kullanılmadan işlem yapılmıştır.

Bulgular:
Veinviewer kılavuzluğunda skleroterapi yapılan hastalarda işlem süresinin
anlamlı olarak kısaldığı (p<0.05), işlem kolaylığının ve hasta
memnuniyetinin arttığı tespit edilmiştir.

Veinviewer
kılavuzluğunda flebektomi yapılan hastalarda da flebektomi süresinin
(p<0.05), ağrı görülme sıklığının önemli oranda azaldığı ve hasta
memnuniyetinin arttğı tespit edilmiştir.









Sonuç: Venöz
hastalıklarda tedavi uygulamalarından olan skleroterapi ve flebektomi
işlemlerinde Veinviewer kullanımının; hekim konforunu, hasta konforu ve
memnuniyetini artırdığı, işlemlerin daha kısa sürede ve kolaylıkla yapılmasını
sağladığı, tedavideki etkinliliğe büyük katkılarda bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir.
