The flavonoids, in fact, contained in the extract of red vine leaves, offer help to improve the cutaneous microflux and the oxygenation of the vessel walls.

The combination of macro- and microcirculatory parameters with a scale evaluation of the major symptoms is an important model to evaluate CVI and the effects of treatments on CVI. Recent studies have also indicated a significant antithrombotic activity of Pycnogenol that may even protect subjects with CVI and varicose veins from some thrombotic complications. The definitive treatment is the surgical (including sclerotherapy) corrections of the most incompetent segments, if possible. The groups ( Table 2) of completing subjects were comparable for age and sex distribution and for their clinical aspects.

Validation of Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) with other venous severity assessment tools from the American Venous Forum, National Venous Screening Program J Vasc Surg 2011 54(6, Suppl):2S–9S.
