Chronic Venous Insufficiency

2022
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a significant cause of lower leg edema. It is caused by progressively worsening vein valve incompetence and luminal abnormalities leading to a negative cycle of sustained uncompensated venous hypertension. The sequalae of chronic venous hypertension involve further vein damage, cumulative reduction of venous return

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1990
Like the noninvasive assessment of arterial occlusive disease, the various methods for evaluation of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) can be divided into those that provide hemodynamic information and those that provide anatomic detail. The majority of noninvasive methods for evaluation of CVI are directed toward assessing hemodynamic events in large

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2003
Patients with chronic venous insufficiency arguably have been relegated to a standard of care that is lower than that for those with the more appealing entity of peripheral arterial disease. Fortunately, the collaboration of an expanding group of clinicians (including cardiologists and vascular medicine specialists) with vascular surgeons is ...
