The introduction of no n-in vasive Prof. Livio Gabrielli diagnostics with the continuous wave Doppler and subsequently with the Echo Color Doppler enabled us to acquire detailed information on the physiological mechanisms of venous circulation and consequently on the physiopathological m echanism s . This allowed for a new close examination of the events and Prof. Claude Franceschi hemodynamic changes that trigger the onset of the clinical abnormalities characteristic of venous insufficiencies. This development has greatly benefitted diagnosis and therapy not only of the superficial venous insufficiencies but also of the deep venous Dott. Roberto Delfrate insufficiencies, which are common in post-thrombosis syndrome. In the last twenty-five years, non -in vas ive hemodynamic ultrasound diagnostics together with technological developments have broade ned therapeutic options. These include conservative hemodynamic therapy and also the progressive development of different forms of m inim ally- invasive therapies which intend to offer alternatives to stripping that are easier to implement. The hemodynamic CH IVA strategy (Conservatrice et Hemodynamique de l'Insuffisance Veineuse en Ambulatoire) codified by Claude Franceschi, a pioneer who played a major role in the development and spreading of the Doppler ultrasound vascular investigation both in the arterial a nd venous districts, appeared in 1988 as an alternative to demolition therapies.

  • CHIVA to Treat Saphenous Vein Insufficiency in Chronic
    REVIEW ARTICLE ISSN 1677-7301 (Online) CHIVA to treat saphenous vein insufficiency in chronic venous disease: characteristics and results CHIVA para tratar insuficiência de veia safena em doença venosa crônica: características e resultados Felipe Puricelli Faccini1,2 , Stefano Ermini3 , Claude Franceschi4,5 Abstract There is considerable debate in the literature with relation to the best method to treat patients with chronic venous disease (CVD). CHIVA is an office-based treatment for varicose veins performed under local anesthesia. The aim of the technique is to lower transmural pressure in the superficial venous system and avoid destruction of veins. Recurrence of varicosities, nerve damage, bruising and suboptimal aesthetic results are common to all treatments for the disease. This paper evaluates and discusses the characteristics and results of the CHIVA technique. We conclude that CHIVA is a viable alternative to common procedures that is associated with less bruising, nerve damage, and recurrence than stripping saphenectomy. The main advantages are preservation of the saphenous vein, local anesthesia, low recurrence rates, low cost, low pain, and no nerve damage. The major disadvantages are the learning curve and the need to train the team in venous hemodynamics. Keywords: CHIVA; saphenous sparing; local anesthesia; varicose vein; chronic venous disease. Resumo Existe uma grande discussão na literatura sobre o tratamento da doença venosa crônica (DVC). A cura conservadora e hemodinâmica da insuficiência venosa em ambulatório (CHIVA) consiste no tratamento ambulatorial de varizes sob anestesia local. O objetivo da técnica é diminuir a pressão transmural no sistema venoso superficial para evitar a destruição das veias, incluindo as veias safenas.
