Winner of the 2019 award – Prof. Mark S. Whiteley & PhD Emma Budd
The Whiteley Clinic, Surrey, UK
Titel of the study: „Effect of compression treatment in patients with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)”
Together with Emma Budd, PhD, professor Mark Whiteley received the award, which also comes with EUR 20,000 in prize money, for his research project on the influence of compression therapy on patients with pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) – a condition that is still largely unexplored. Pelvic congestion syndrome is a pathological dilation of the ovarian veins, which can lead to considerable varicose veins in the pelvis.
Patients with symptoms of PCS are divided into two groups and receive either Ccl 2 compression shorts or the current standard therapy, comprising surgical coil embolization. The symptom scores, collected using a newly developed PCS-specific questionnaire, are compared, and changes in the veins are recorded in ultrasound examinations during the monitoring period of 3 months.
The British vascular surgeon has spent many years researching and teaching about venous disorders. In addition to the Whiteley Clinics in Guildford, London and Bristol, he also set up a foundation for treating leg wounds. Professor Whiteley previously taught at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, London’s best-known teaching hospital, and lectured in surgery at Oxford University.
