Objective:To explore the efficacy and feasibility of percutaneous point incision dralnage in patients with chronic venous insufficiency(CVI) combined with lipodermatosclerosis(LDS) .Methods:A total of 60 patients with CVI combined with LDS were randomly divided into the experiment group and the control group ,with 30 patients in each .High ligation and stripping on superficial veins of lower limbs and ligation on perforating veins of lower limbs combined with percutaneous point incision dralnage were conducted in the experiment group ,while high ligation and stripping on superficial veins of lower limbs and ligation on perforating veins of lower limbs was conducted in the control group .The thickness of subcutaneous sclerosis , the venous clinical severity score(VCSS) ,the chronic venous insufficiency questionnalre(CIVIQ) and the level of transforming growth factor‐β1(TGF‐β1) were compared between the two groups after the operations .Results:After the operations ,the patients had been followed up for 6 to 12 months with an average of 8 .6 months ,and the follow‐up rate was 100% .The clinical manifestation of LDS in the experiment group was relieved faster than that in the control group .There were 7 cases ,2 cases with subcutaneous induration at 3 months ,6 months after operation ,respectively ,in the experiment group ,while there were 22 cases ,15 cases ,respectively ,in the control group(P<0 .01) .VCSS was lower ,while CIVIQ was better ,in the experiment group ,than that in the control group ,at 1 ,3 ,6 month after surgery(P<0 .01) .The level of TGF‐β1 in the experiment group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 1 month after surgery (P< 0 .05) .Conclusions:High ligation and stripping on superficial veins of lower limbs and ligation on perforating veins of low limbs ,combined with percutaneous point incision dralnage ,demonstrated a good efficacy on CVI combined with LDS .
