ROSSANI, Dr. Germán V. M.  and  PATINO, Rafael I. Hernández. Autologous serum in vascular ulcer of long evolution. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.3, pp.653-658. ISSN 1814-5469.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v21i3.3942.

The treatment of chronic wounds continues to be a topic of great interest due to its slow evolution and difficult healing, despite the development of new therapies on wound care and treatment. We present the case of a 76-year-old male patient with a 3-year-old chronic vascular ulcer located in the distal portion of the left leg, with severe incompetence of the small saphenous vein predominantly in the left lower limb. The application of autologous serum is proposed as an alternative treatment, managing to reactivate the repair process and subsequent wound healing, which was not achieved with conventional treatment.
