Venous ulcers are defined by the presence of open lesions which represent the final stage of chronic venous disease or post-thrombotic syndrome. The risk factors for the development of venous ulcers include age, obesity, female sex, trauma, immobility, factor V mutation, thrombosis, venous agenesis. Recommendation by the current guidelines includes compression and advanced dressing. However, in several cases, they fail to change patients' outcome. The aim of this study is to identify an alternative therapy to treat venous trophic lesions not responding to traditional therapeutic approaches using extracellular vesicles obtained from autologous serum.
