Abstract

Vasculitic ulcers belong to the category of atypical ulcers and are traditionally very slow to heal. The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyze the files of eight patients with vasculitic ulcers treated with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Immunosuppression was initiated at least two weeks prior to starting NPWT. We suggest that this is a safe and promising protocol to treat these hard-to-heal ulcers.

负压伤口疗法（NPWT）在血管性伤口管理中的作用：八名患者的病例系列。
