Abstract

The article presents the results of prospective longitudinal study, in which the dynamics of fibrinogen, D-dimer, the platelet count levels have been evaluated in comparison with clinical changes within the application of endovenous electric welding (EVEW) in automatic mode for varicose vein treatment in 33 patients. The statistical analysis of the results was performed using SPSS Inc. software. (Chicago, IL, USA, version 22.0). One week after the operation, a complete obliteration of the great saphenous vein, as determined by ultrasonography, was observed in 26 patients (78.8%), while in 7 patients, a remaining lumen was registered (21.2%); after 12 months, the complete occlusion of the trunk without signs of recanalization or varicose disease progression was determined in 100% patients. After 1 week, the symptoms of venous stasis (edema, heaviness in the lower extremities) disappeared in 32 (97%) patients; in one case, the edema remained until the day 12. The great saphenous vein occlusion after EVEW application was accompanied by changes in coagulation homeostasis, which reflected in the dynamics of D-dimer, fibrinogen and the platelet count. One week after surgery, these parameters were higher in patients with incomplete occlusion, indicating the maintenance of coagulation activity of the body as a component of treatment aimed to complete the process of insufficient vein obliteration. Gradual decrease in platelet count as one of the markers of cell apoptosis indicates a continuous decrease in the activity of venous wall inflammation. No blood flow impairment in the deep veins of the lower extremities or thrombophlebitic changes in the trunk of the great saphenous vein or its tributaries have been detected.
