В представленном обзоре рассмотрены современное состояние и исторические аспекты использования компрессионного лечения для проведения профилактики тромбоэмболических осложнений и лечения симптомов хронической венозной недостаточности, связанных с хроническими заболеваниями вен. Обсуждаются патогенетические аспекты терапии градуированной компрессией, основы использования аппаратных механических средств профилактики и лечения, основы воздействия этих методов на состояние венозного возврата, движения тканевой жидкости. Акцентируется внимание на  доказательствах эффективности компрессионного лечения.

 

 

 

 

The review considers a modern state and historic aspects of the compression use therapy for prevention of thromboembolic complications and therapy of symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency related to chronic vein diseases. Pathogenetic aspects of the therapy by graduated compression, fundamentals of use of mechanical means of prevention and therapy, fundamentals of these methods effect on the state of venous return, movement of tissue liquid are discussed. The attention is focused on evidence of effectiveness of compression therapy.
