Autologous serum in vascular ulcer of long evolution

Abstract

The treatment of chronic wounds continues to be a topic of great interest due to the slow evolution and difficult healing they present, despite the development of new therapies on wound care and treatment. We present the case of a 76 year old male patient with a chronic vascular ulcer, 3 years of evolution, located in the distal portion of the left leg, with severe incompetence of saphenous vein minor to predominance of left lower limb. Who receives as treatment the application of autologous serum, achieving epithelialization and subsequent healing of the lesion.
