State of the art of venous investigation and treatment
1University of Western Ontario, London.
Objective:
To discuss current investigative and treatment modalities in all venous problems, ranging from telangiectasia to chronic venous insufficiency.
Data Sources:
A thorough review of current literature plus the author's personal experience and ideas.
Data Synthesis:
Clinical interest and research into venous disease is increasing. Despite advanced investigative technology, the definitive management of chronic venous insufficiency remains controversial. Deep valvular reconstruction is now possible; however, indications for this type of procedure are rare.
Conclusion:
The renewed interest in venous disease will likely lead to specific treatments for all aspects of venous disease, especially for chronic venous insufficiency.
