Abstract
In 30 patients with varicosis intermittent high-pressure compression of the leg was applied before a stripping operation and the fibrinolytic activity of intraoperatively obtained vein segments was studied histochemically. In comparison with 10 non-treated patients the fibrinolytic activity of the vessel wall was markedly increased. The systemic enhancement of fibrinolysis was only seen when the blood was drawn from the treated extremity. In addition, after active exercise, i.e. moutaineering and cross-country skiing under competition conditions, a significant activation of fibrinolysis and coagulation was seen in the plasma of the volunteers.
