We incidentally hypothesized that placing Kinesio tapes over the bulging varicose veins patients had immediate clinical benefit. Refilling Time prolongation after taping seems the explanation of this effect. Fifteen patients were investigated via a clinical questionnaire and photoplethysmography trying to demonstrate the possibility of this type of temporary selective varices compression as a conservative treatment of varicose veins incompetence syndrome. The results were very encouraging suggesting a rapid divulgation of this simple and cheap method.

Theoretical concept of a diastolic compression device is presented. The device could have a form of a pneumatic cuff or a rubber sleeve. Its objective is to exert external pressure below the knee, which would compress the great saphenous vein during the diastolic phase of the calf pump activity, and hinder thereby the saphenous reflux and the occurrence of ambulatory venous hypertension. Based on the results of venous pressure measurements, it is supposed that pressure of about 35 mm Hg would be able to fulfill this therapeutic aim. If tolerated and accepted by the patients, the device could offer, in addition to the current invasive methods and compression stocking therapy, a simple conservative, nonetheless effective treatment of primary varicose veins. It would keep the dividing line of the ambulatory pressure gradient below the knee, as is the case with healthy people, and prevent thereby the progression of the disease. In addition, this conservative method would preserve the great saphenous vein for possible use as a bypass graft in the future.

I had personally occasion to meet Hugo some 25 years ago in Sydney (UIP world congress), when he showed a great attention towards some “innovative“ anatomical and hemodynamic aspects of chronic venous diseases which were presented by some of us. After becoming UIP president, his curiosity and open-minded attitude towards the proposals aimed at advancing the science of phlebology, led him to organise a number of consensus conferences on several topics.

The significance of strain gauge plethysmography and photoplethysmography in the diagnostics of hemodynamic disturbance in primary varicose veins is discussed. Both methods have the ability to measure volume changes induced by calf pump activity and to quantify the pre-treatment hemodynamic disorders, the immediate post-treatment hemodynamic improvement, as well as the post-treatment deterioration occurring during the follow up. The most frequently used parameters are refill times t-90 and t-50; they yield precise and reliable results. For this reason, plethysmography is a rational supplement to duplex ultrasonography in the diagnostic investigation of varicose vein disease.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy (AP), conceived by Robert Muller starting from 1956, initially considered with great scepticism, became completely accepted and employed at the end of the XX century. AP may be employed in three strategic perspectives related to the Saphenous Veins (SV) situation: - In the course of SV stem incompetence treatment, either as a concomitant or a staged treatment of dilated tributaries. Both positions seem to have valid (different) reasons. - As a first step avoiding SV incompetence treatment, as in CHIVA or in ASVAL methods, although with different hemodynamic bases. - As an isolated procedure when SV is not involved. AP is a simple technique, easily office based, effective and safe, provided basic rules are followed (local anaesthesia, US assessment, correct mapping, small incisions, no sutures, post-op. compression); however, it is highly related to manual skill (together with patience, concentration and delicate touch), results depending heavily on details and less on routine.

We propose an historical consideration on the deep relationship between war and medicine. War and medicine are strongly connected and the link dates back to the dawn of time. Many medical advances and key developments in healthcare has been driven by war, which in turn impacts on health and healthcare. Governments fund military research and researchers develop new technologies, some of which may be suitable for medical applications. Techniques, materials and equipment�s proven to be safe and effective in wartime have made valuable contributions to medicine in peacetime. We provide some brief historical details about triage, chemotherapy, mobile X-ray units and vascular surgery, which have all been developed in the battlefield.
