Oedema Study : Chroedem
Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier
Summary
The chroedem study is aiming to assess tissue and biomolecular components of chronic lower limb oedema (CO). The investigators working hypothesis is that according to the aetiology of CO, the proportion of oedema \& composition of peri-oedema tissues (fat, muscle, fibrosis/inflammation) might differ and could at least in part explain differences in failure/success of compressive therapies from one patient to another. For that purpose, 24 patients with a post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS)-related oedema and 24 patients with a primary lymphedema will undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) of the legs and biological (genetic) testing.
