Background. Extensive extracellular matrix remodelling is present in the wall of varicose veins. The process is controlled by numerous factors, including peptide growth factors. The aim of the study was to evaluate the content of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) in the wall of varicose veins and varicose veins complicated by thrombophlebitis. Material and methods. Walls of varicose veins and varicose veins complicated by thrombophlebitis made up the studied material. Walls of normal saphenous veins, which were harvested from patients with chronic limb ischaemia undergoing infrainguinal by-pass grafting, made up the control materia...
