Descripción detallada
Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) of the lower limbs is a widespread chronic condition of the western world. There are several signs and symptoms that affect quality of life of patients with CVD. One of the main signs of this disease are varicose veins that are enlarged, swollen, and twisting superficial veins. Vessel wall of varicose veins shows a significant histopathological phenotype, characterized by a distortion of structural architecture: endothelial damage, disorganization of muscle bundles and alteration of the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Symptoms may be different, according to disease state, progression and local inflammatory processes. To date, there is no study that correlate the type and the intensity of symptoms with histopathological phenotype.
Aim of this study is to correlate histopathological phenotype with clinical manifestations.
A cohort of patients with varicose veins scheduled for open surgical treatment that will undergo to stab avulsion of varicose veins will be recruited. Subsequently, venous tissue from stab avulsion will collected in order to evaluate the following biomarkers: VEGF (Vascular -Endothelial Growth Factor), PGP 9.5 (Protein Gene Product 9.5), Fibronectin and Matrix Metalloproteinase- 9 (MMP-9).
VEGF has a key role as a regulator of angiogenesis; its expression is highly regulated by hypoxia, in this case induced by venous hypertension. In addition to being a marker of neoangiogenesis, it increases vascular permeability in inflammatory disorders. PGP 9.5 is a marker of the innervation of the vessel wall that plays an important role in the regulation of venous tone. Fibronectin and MMP-9 are direct markers of ECM remodeling and impairment and they have also a role in chronic inflammation.

Patients with varicose veins
Patients with varicose veins and eligible to receive open surgery (stab avulsion of varicose veins) as routinely care.
|
Stab avulsion is a technique to remove varicose veins.
In this procedure, several tiny cuts (incisions) are made in the skin through which the varicosed vein is removed.
Removed varicose veins will be collected and analyzed.
Otros nombres:
Sample obtained from varicose veins of lower limbs of patients will be collected and immediately fixed in formalin.
The tissue fragments will be taken from varicose veins.
Subsequently the tissue will be embedded in paraffin and 3-to-4 mm thick sections will be prepared by a microtome.
The tissue sections will be processed for histological and immunohistochemical studies of VEGF, MM9, PGP 9.5 AND FRIBRONECTIN.
For antibodies the EnVision staining system (Dako EnVision™) will be used.
For the analysis of the positive structures detected by immunohistochemistry, a semiquantitative evaluation method will be used.
