Modulation of Circulating Cytokine-Chemokine Profile in Patients Affected by Chronic Venous Insufficiency Undergoing Surgical Hemodynamic Correction
Figure 3
Evaluation of circulating cytokines/chemokines in CVI patients 6 months after surgical hemodynamic correction. The circulating levels of cytokines/chemokines were assessed in plasma samples harvested from forearm vein of healthy subjects (controls) and of CVI patients before (baseline) and after (6 months) CHIVA. In (a), the 11 cytokines/chemokines displaying lower levels after CHIVA, compared to baseline levels, are shown; compared to baseline; compared to controls. In (b), the 3 cytokines/chemokines displaying levels after CHIVA not significantly different compared to baseline levels are shown. In (a) and (b), horizontal bars are median, upper, and lower edges of box that are 75th and 25th percentiles, lines extending from box are 10th and 90th percentiles; compared to the controls.
