Abstract
Videocapillaroscopy showed “in vivo” a change in local microcirculation architecture using a microscope. Patients with hypertrophic burn scars showed a variety of microcirculatory changes, often clustered in a characteristic pattern of abnormally oriented, dilated capillaries and neoangiogenetic phenomena. This methodology is highly likely to be of value in the assessment and prognostication of burn outcome.
