    Abstract Background: Edema in some subjects worsens over time and wraps help to reduce the leg volume.
    Material and methods: An adjustable compression wrap was tried on volunteers for 5 h and volumes measured in each limb before and after wrapping using a 3D surface scanner (HandySCAN 3D®) to estimate the volume of the leg. The contralateral leg was used as control.
    Results: We observed a significant decrease in volume in the wrap legs and an increase in the control legs (
    Conclusions: Using the Readywrap® for 5 hours significantly reduces the leg volume. This study enables Readywrap to be studied in a population that is easy to observe in the context of a research program. The Handyscan3D® was shown accurate and reproducible to assess leg volume in future studies.

    Abstract The prognosis of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is greatly depending upon the ability of the patients to optimize their health-related behaviors (mainly compliance to compression stockings, physical activity and diet). As this is usually challenging for the patients, we developed a therapeutic education program (TEP) aiming at helping them to achieve these optimizations. We report here the preliminary results obtained with this program. This structured TEP was developed by a working group of 15 health professionals to be used during the regular French spa 3-week treatment course for CVI patients. The program included three interactive workshops aiming at improving the patients' knowledge, skills and motivation, two educational consultations allowing to set and follow-up their personal action plans and a built-in evaluation. It was implemented in spa resorts specialized in CVI. Among the first 150 patients (116 women and 34 men, mean age 69 years old (SD 8 years), 49% had post-thrombotic disease. Compliance to the education workshops was 98%. After a 3-month follow-up, 83% of the patients fully achieved at least one behavioral objective. Quality of life, as assessed by the CIVIQ 2 auto-questionnaire, improved at 3 months (

    Abstract Background: The cutaneous microangiopathy plays a key role in the development of the skin clinical lesions of venous insufficiency. Capillaroscopy allows a non-invasive observation of the superficial skin capillaries of the lower leg, which have previously been shown to be altered in patients with advanced venous disease. As it is now available in a friendly, easy to handle way through modern video devices, we report our findings in a short series of patients with C3-C5 chronic venous disorders using this technique.
    Methods: A total of 21 patients with venous insufficiency (C3-C5 on at least one leg) underwent a capillaroscopic examination of both legs and pictures recorded from the sites of the most severe venous skin lesions. This was performed with a CapXview handheld video-capillaroscope (×100 magnification), allowing easy manual measurement of maximum capillary bulk diameter and capillary density.
    Results: Dramatic changes in capillary density, size, and shape were easily observed at the site of the venous skin lesions. A significant negative linear relationship was found between capillary density and the "C" classes (
    Conclusion: Video-capillaroscopy allows a direct observation of the cutaneous venous microangiopathy and provides the possibility to measure capillary density which allows its quantification. This simple to use technique shows the potential for a more precise follow-up and treatment evaluation of the cutaneous consequences of venous disease, which remains to be further investigated.

    Abstract We postulate that blue telangiectasia and brownish pigmentation at ankle level, early markers of chronic venous insufficiency, can be quantified for longitudinal studies of chronic venous disease in Caucasian people. Objectives and methods To describe a photographic technique specially developed for this purpose. The pictures were acquired using a dedicated photo stand to position the foot in a reproducible way, with a normalized lighting and acquisition protocol. The image analysis was performed with a tool developed using algorithms optimized to detect and quantify blue telangiectasia and brownish pigmentation and their relative surface in the region of interest. To test the short-term reproducibility of the measures. Results The quantification of the blue telangiectasia and of the brownish pigmentation using an automated digital photo analysis is feasible. The short-term reproducibility is good for blue telangiectasia quantification. It is a less accurate for the brownish pigmentation. Conclusion The blue telangiectasia of the corona phlebectatica and the ankle flare can be assessed using a clinimetric approach based on the automated digital photo analysis.

    Title translation Sclerodermic acrosyndromes.
    Abstract In patients with systemic sclerosis, two main subsets of vascular acrosyndromes can be found: Raynaud's phenomenon and digital ulcerations. A severe Raynaud's phenomenon is found in almost every patient with systemic sclerosis. Most often, it is the first sign announcing the emergence of the disease and the hypothesis of subclinical scleroderma should be evaluated in every patient with apparently isolated Raynaud's phenomenon. Digital ulcerations can show several clinical aspects: ischemic micro-ulcerations and pitting scars of the finger tips, nailbed and nailfold lesions and digital necrosis, but also chronic ulcerations of the dorsal skin surface of the finger joints and ulcerated dermal calcifications, the origin of which is not only ischemic. First line treatment of such acro-syndromes is based upon cold avoidance and calcium-blocking agents. In the most severe cases, hospitalization in specialized centers is required, where customized physiotherapy and perfusions of prostaglandins or dextrans will be performed.

    Abstract Objectives: Except for compression therapy, physical therapy has scarcely been evaluated in the treatment of chronic venous disorders (CVD). Spa treatment is a popular way to administer physical therapy for CVD in France, but its efficacy has not been evaluated yet. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of balneotherapy associated with patient education, as performed in the spa resort of La Léchère, in patients with advanced chronic venous insufficiency (CEAP clinical classes C4/C5).
    Methods: The study was a randomized controlled trial, spa therapy being administered on top of the usual medical care. Evaluation was by a blinded independent investigator. Subjects were patients with primary or post-thrombotic CVD with skin changes but no active ulcer (C4a, C4b, or C5), living in Grenoble area, and willing to undergo a spa treatment course in La Léchère. The treated group had the three week spa treatment course in La Léchère, soon after randomization; the control group also had a spa treatment, but starting at day 365. The treatment consisted of four balneology sessions per day, six days a week during three weeks, and three educational workshops. An independent follow-up was performed in Grenoble hospital every three months for 15 months. The main outcome criterion was the severity of the skin changes, as evaluated by means of malleolar chromametry. Quality of life, as measured by the Chronic Venous Insufficiency Questionnaire 2 scale, a visual analog scale (VAS) for leg symptoms, and the occurrence of leg ulcers were used as secondary criteria. The year after spa treatment in the treated group was compared with the year before spa treatment in the control group.
    Results: Fifty-nine subjects were enrolled (29 in the treatment group and 30 in the control group). No statistically significant difference between groups was found at study onset regarding age, sex, etiology, CEAP "C" class, and the outcome variables. After treatment, chromametry showed significantly decreased pigmentation and erythema in the treatment group compared with the controls (P < .01). Quality of life (P < .01) and symptoms (P < .001) also improved significantly. These differences remained significant after one year follow-up. The control patients improved similarly after their own spa treatment (day 450).
    Conclusion: This study shows that spa therapy, associating balneotherapy and patient education, is able to improve significantly the skin trophic changes of the CVD patients and their CVD related quality of life and symptoms. This effect is of large magnitude and remains significant one year after the treatment course.

    Abstract Objective: We report on the preliminary evaluation of a well-designed program, Living with Lymphedema. This longitudinal cohort study assessed patients' quality of life using questionnaires. Our main objective was to evaluate the satisfaction of the patients and their adherence to the program. This was done using a specific questionnaire of satisfaction as well as by noting patients' adherence to the program (number of patients attending all three consultations). The secondary objective was to assess the effect of the program on the patient's quality of life. The assessment criteria were the evolution of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey and EuroQol questionnaire scores between the first (C1) and third (C3) consultations.
    Methods: The Living with Lymphedema program targeted all patients with lymphedema in the Grenoble (France) conurbation and within the GRANTED health care network that includes vascular medicine specialists, primary care physicians, physical therapists, and dietitians in the Alpine region of France. All studied patients were ambulatory patients. The GRANTED network took care only of the educational aspect of the disease. All patients with primary or secondary lymphedema were offered the Living with Lymphedema program, whatever their age and the location of the lymphedema (upper or lower limbs). The collection of patient data conformed to the ethical and administrative regulations of the regional health authority. Grenoble Institutional Review Board (CPP Sud-Est V; No. 5891) approval for the study was specifically obtained for this evaluation on December 24, 2012. The program was built around one-to-one consultations, group workshops, and more specialized appointments. It was complementary to the routine medical care received by the patient (not evaluated in this study). It proposed three individual "educational" consultations, seven group workshops, and two specialized consultations with a dietitian. All the consultations or workshops were led by certified professionals trained in therapeutic education.
    Results: The cohort was the 34 patients included in the program. We found a significant improvement in the physical dimension of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey score (P = .01) between C1 and C3 but not for the psychic dimension. Visual analog scale scores of the ability to cope with the lymphedema showed a statistically significant improvement between C1 and C3 (P = .05). No difference was observed in adherence to compression therapy.
    Conclusions: This therapeutic educational program showed a significant improvement in several criteria of quality of life and in the autonomy of patients with lymphedema.

    Abstract Background: Paroxysmal finger haematoma (PFH) is an under-recognised vascular acrosyndrome with no epidemiological description to date. The aim of this work was to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors and clinical correlates of PFH in a population-based sample of subjects and to describe their semiological characteristics.
    Patients and methods: This cross-sectional study of random samples of the general population in three geographic areas of France involved 802 subjects, 548 women and 254 men, aged 18 to 84 years. The diagnosis of PFH was made from a report by the subject of a history of recurrent haematoma in the fingers with a sudden, painful and unexpected occurrence. Diagnosis of associated conditions and evaluation of lifestyle variables were obtained through standardised medical interview and examination.
    Results: A history of PFH was detected in 71 subjects, with a prevalence of 1.2% in men and 12.4% in women; there was no significant regional variation. Onset before 40 years of age was rare. Besides female sex and age, no socio-economical nor lifestyle risk factors were detected. PFH was associated with Raynaud phenomenon and a history of chilblains, but no link with any health threatening disease was found. In addition to the sudden onset of pain and hematoma, the main clinical features were a frequent digital swelling during the painful attack, and their predominant location on the volar side of the first and second phalanges of the third or second fingers of the dominant hand.
    Conclusions: PFH is a benign phenomenon, frequently found in middle-aged women, to be classified among the vascular acrosyndromes. Patients seeking medical evaluation for this disorder should be reassured.
