Orthostatic-loading-induced transient venous refluxes (day orthostatic loading test), and remedial effect of micronized purified flavonoid fraction in patients with telangiectasia and reticular vein.

Background: Orthostatic loading can induce transient venous reflux (TVR). Among patients with telangiectasia and reticular varices, we determined the proportion that developed TVR after a day of orthostatic loading (DOL test), and investigated the remedial effects of micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF).

Methods: All 96 patients enrolled in this study had telangiectasia and reticular varices.
