    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Medicine
    • Medical Pathophysiology

    Background:

    • Chronic deep venous insufficiency (CDVI) of the lower extremity is a common complication.
    • It frequently arises after deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
    • The condition presents significant challenges for patients and healthcare providers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the current understanding of CDVI.
    • To discuss the pathogenetic mechanisms.
    • To evaluate existing therapeutic options and surgical efficacy.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies on chronic deep venous insufficiency.
    • Analysis of pathogenetic mechanisms.
    • Evaluation of treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The fully developed postphlebitic syndrome is clinically recognizable.
    • Underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are not fully elucidated and remain controversial.
    • Current therapeutic options are limited.
    • The effectiveness of surgical interventions is uncertain.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is needed to clarify the pathogenetic mechanisms of CDVI.
    • Development of more effective therapeutic strategies is warranted.
    • The role of surgery in managing CDVI requires further investigation.
