Zusammenfassung
Die vorliegende Literaturübersicht fasst Untersuchungen zu den biologischen und klinischen Wirkungen eines Extraktes aus der Rinde der französischen Meereskiefer (Pycnogenol®) bei der chronischen Veneninsuffizienz (CVI) zusammen.
Ursachen der anti-ödematösen und anti-thrombotischen Wirkungen sind die Verbesserung der Endothelfunktion, die Hemmung der Permeabilität der Kapillarwände und der Thrombozytenaggregation. Des Weiteren trägt die anti-inflammatorische und anti-oxidative Wirkung zur beschleunigten Heilung von Ulzera und Hämorrhoidalleiden nach oraler und kutaner Anwendung von Pycnogenol® bei. Die Hemmung der Ödeme der unteren Gliedmaßen und der Entstehung von tiefen Thrombosen wurde auch bei Passagieren von Langstreckenflügen nachgewiesen. In vergleichenden Untersuchungen konnte die Überlegenheit von Pycnogenol® gegenüber einigen Venotonika und der Anwendung von medizinischen Kompressionsstrümpfen gezeigt werden. Milde, unerwünschte Wirkungen traten bei etwa 1 % der Fälle auf.
