  • Title: [Sclerosis of varicose veins in patients on anticoagulants. Apropos of the report of 2 patients on anticoagulants].
    Author: Dastain JY.
    Journal: Phlebologie; 1981; 34(1):73-6. PubMed ID: 7465652.
    Abstract:
    The article refers to two cardiac patients on anticoagulants, one of them has an aortic valve, the other has had a myocardiac infarction, both have varicose lower members associated with trophic disorders. Cases of sclerotherapy on weak patients using antivitamin K (anti-coagulant solution) are rare. Usually the classic technique of sclerotherapy using Aetoxisclerol (Polydaconol) is used in the treatment of such cases. Both results have been good and without incidence. The concentrations of sclerosant solution are more or less the same those used for patients not on anticoagulant. Taking into account the results of these two cases, we should not as a matter of course refuse treatment to varicose patients on anticoagulants.
