A first of its kind experience to stay updated with the vascular health challenges of Covid-19 in the world of today.

Global female experts will share insights about chronic venous insufficiency in pregnancy and a randomized crossover trila on the effect of compression stockings on nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy.

Uncover the depths of thrombophilia with our upcoming webinar, "BEYOND THE SURFACE - THROMBOPHILIA CHALLENGES & ESSENTIAL PHLEBOLOGY TRAINING." Hosted by the African Federation of Angiology & Vascular Surgery (AFAVS) under the distinguished leadership of President Emad Hussein, and in collaboration with the International Union of Angiology (IUA) through its associated society, this webinar promises to be an enlightening exploration into the intricacies of thrombophilia.

Global experts will share insights about the art of diagnostic and treatment of chronic venous obstructions, their personal experiences in the treatment of ulcera and last but not least give guidance in the choosing of the right compression technology

Chronic venous disease is a medical condition that tends to worsen with age. It is made up of a variety of signs and symptoms that impact patients’ quality of life. This web seminar discusses the role of medical compression stockings in treating chronic venous disease.

Prof. Joseph Caprini, Emeritus at the NorthShore University Health System in Evanston, Illinois and a senior clinician-educator at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, believes that individual risk assessment of thrombosis in Covid-19 patients is a fundamental part of analyzing the pandemic! As the number and power of risk factors increase in the Caprini Score, the incidence of thrombosis increases, resulting in a score that has been validated in 5 million patients. There is a non-linear increase in clinical venous thromboembolism incidence as the score increases! But capturing the 40 elements in the Caprini Score is a time-consuming process! However, it can be facilitated by having the patient complete a preliminary form in advance of elective surgery with the help of family members. That is why physicians should review the initial documents filled by the patients and their families. However, is there really a connection between Thrombosis and Covid-19?

Prof. Jinsong Wang started the taking with the Covid 19 started in December 2019 broke out worldwide and how the frontline medical staff is at high risk for occupational exposure and infection also preventing nosocomial infections is a particularly important and challenging task during the pandemic.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis consists of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic measures to diminish the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Dr. Kirill Lobastov started his talk by the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients with covid infection. It was found in 11 studies with more than 1500 thousand participants. In most of these studies, patients used low molecular heparins in prophylactic intermediate therapeutic toes. It was about 13 percent, and pulmonary embolism was about eight. In the intensive care unit, it was high that pulmonary embolism occurred in about 18 percent of all patients.

Veno-lymphatic disorders are associated with pain & inflammation. Compression therapy has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect in veno-lymphatic disorders.

This MOH Focus discusses the prevention of post-thrombotic syndrome following deep vein thrombosis. It reviews whether stopping elastic compression therapy after 12 months is non-inferior to continuing it for an additional 12 months. This paper is also available for download in French, German, Italian, and Polish.

This MOH Focus presents the promising findings of two studies that will motivate elderly people and their caregivers to use compression therapy. This paper is available to download in English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish.

This MOH Focus analyzes the clinical course, mortality risk factors and thromboembolic events in Covid-19 patients. It is available to download in English, French and German.

This MOH Focus reviews the effects of medical compression stockings and leg elevation on local inflammation. This paper is also available in French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish.
