Abstract:
Varicosis is a chronic progressive disease characterized by varicose veins of the lower extremities. Pain, swelling and heaviness of the legs are typical symptoms. These symptoms are caused by a pathological venous reflux, arising from a weakness of the vein wall and progressive venous insufficiency. The indications for invasive surgery are the symptomatic clinical, etiological, anatomical, pathophysiological (CEAP) stages C2s-C6. Compression therapy and venoactive drugs can be recommended for conservative therapy. When it comes to surgical treatment conventional open vein surgery is associated with the best long-term results. Endovenous thermal ablation is associated with few postoperative complications and favors earlier mobilization of the patient. Sclerotherapy has become established with good clinical results for the ablation of reticular and telangiectatic veins, for recurrences and complicated vein anatomy.
