Inelastic Compression in Edema After Revascularization

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Inelastic compression: Inelastic compression used in the treatment of lymphedema

Study summary

The appearance of revascularization edema of the lower limb is a frequent complication in peripheral vascular surgery. It can lead to a delay in healing and even to trophic disorders.

The prevention and treatment of this complication have so far been limited to postural measures (elevation of the limbs), in the absence of other recommendations and given the contraindication of elastic compression.

Inelastic compression is another mode of compression sometimes used in the treatment of lymphedema. It exerts a stable continuous pressure regardless of the patient's position. The investigator's aim is to demonstrate that compression with inelastic bands, applied under good conditions, does not have a major effect on distal arterial vascularization in arterial patients who have undergone revascularization by supra-articular bypass or endovascular treatment of the lower limb.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Evaluating the safety of inelastic compression — day 5
  no skin complications OR a drop in toe blood pressure and/or transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TCPO2) and/or TMS of 20% before and after placement of the compression
