L'objectif de cette publication est de montrer par une étude descriptive et prospective sur 29 patients, choisis de façon aléatoire, l'effet de la neurocryostimulation sur la vasomotricité vasculaire. La méthodologie consiste à mesurer par échographie Doppler, au niveau du carrefour saphéno-fémoral, la modification du débit veineux de retour. Les paramètres de mesure sont enregistrés avant et après le choc thermique. Le choc thermique est induit par la pulvérisation d'un jet de micro-cristaux de dioxyde de carbone à très basse température (- 78 °C) et sous haute pression (50 bars).L'analyse des résultats montre l'augmentation du débit veineux de retour. Les possibilités thérapeutiques en phlébologie sont décrites. Deux protocoles de traitement particuliers, concernant, d'une part les insuffisances veineuses des membres inférieurs et, d'autre part le traitement du lymphoedème du membre supérieur après chirurgie pour tumeur du sein, sont spécifiquement développés. La conclusion précise l'intérêt de la neurocryostimulation en phlébologie.
PLACE NEUROCRYOSTIMULATION IN PHLEBOLOGY
The aim of this publication is to show the effect of neurocryostimulation (NCS) on vascular motility, with a descriptive and prospective randomized study including 29 patients. The method consists in measuring the alteration of venous return flow by ultrasound Doppler, at the junction of saphenous and femoral veins. Measure parameters are recorded before and after the thermal shock. The thermal shock is produced by pulverising carbon dioxide microcristals at very low temperature ( 78 °C) and high pressure (50 bars).The analysed results show an increase in venous return flow. The therapeutic possible applications in phlebology are presented, and two special treatment protocols are specifically developed: for venous disorders of lower limb for lymphedema of upper limb after breast tumor surgery. The conclusion focuses on the interest of neurocryostimulation in phlebology.
