Recent aspects of lymphedema, lipedema and venous leg ulcer-related therapeutic modalities

Abstract

This review outlines the novel therapies and their effects in lymphedema, lipedema and chronic wounds. So far compression therapy represents the cornerstone of all treatment modalities in these disoders and recent
reports demonstrated compression-related systemic cardiovascular effects. Furthermore, we are able to determine responsiveness of venous leg ulcers to therapy and with application of autologous blood their healing can be ameliorated.
