sclerosant

Have a history of allergy to sclerosant or similar substances.

Their use in contrast to liquid sclerosant is still somewhat controversial.

Intravariceal injection of sclerosant should be performed at the same time, if the expertise is available.

It is not known whether the chemical (sclerosant) causes birth defects or gets into breast milk.

Epinephrine can localise the sclerosant to the injected area, and maximise its effect.

After the injection of sclerosant is given, pressure is applied over the veins to prevent blood return when you stand up.

A mild or severe (anaphylactic) reaction to the sclerosant.

In this case Histoacryl glue (cyanoacrylate) is commonly used as the sclerosant.

Patients developing these complications have usually had large volume injections of sclerosant and postsclerotherapy chest pain.

The catheter and sclerosant are guided to the affected vein with the help of duplex ultrasound.

A newer technique involves the injection of a sclerosant in a foam form rather than a liquid form.

The sclerosant can be observed entering the vein, and further injections performed so that all the abnormal veins are treated.

Oesophageal ulceration is uncommon, usually asymptomatic, and more likely to follow large volume or frequent injections of sclerosant.

Multiple injections of dilute sclerosant are injected into the abnormal surface veins of the involved leg.

During this procedure, the affected leg is elevated to drain blood, and the sclerosant is injected into the varicose vein.

You may need repeated sessions and many injections each session, depending on the extent of the varicose veins and type of sclerosant used.

At the time of Coppleson's book in 1929, he was advocating the use of sodium salicylate or quinine as the best choices of sclerosant.

Most are a direct continuation of oesophageal varices and may respond to injection sclerotherapy from reflux of sclerosant below the cardia.

Sclerotherapy uses an injection of a special chemical (sclerosant) into a varicose vein to damage and scar the inside lining of the vein.

The substance is also used as a sclerosant, an irritant injected to treat varicose veins, under the trade names Asclera and Aethoxysklerol.

Case reports of rare complications of sclerotherapy include spinal cord paralysis after injection of sclerosant in the mid-oesophagus, brain abscess, digital gangrene, and acute renal failure.

During endoscopic sclerotherapy, a chemical called a sclerosant may be injected directly into an enlarged vein or into the wall of the esophagus next to the enlarged veins.

The sclerotherapy injection may be painful, and the chemical (sclerosant) that is injected can cause a feeling of burning or cramping for a few minutes in the area where the shot was given.

Sclerotherapy Management A commonly performed non-surgical treatment for varicose and "spider" leg veins is sclerotherapy in which medicine (sclerosant) is injected into the veins to make them shrink.

If the sclerosant is injected properly into the vein, there is no damage to the surrounding skin, but if it is injected outside the vein, tissue necrosis and scarring can result.
