A clinical case of surgical treatment of complicated chronic venous insufficiency using the principles of hemodynamic management

Abstract

Chronic venous disease is a widespread condition that involves telangiectasias, reticular veins, varicose veins, and venous ulcers. In addition to the well-known manifestations and complications, long-term persistent chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) can become a factor that contributes to the development of infectious processes in the skin and subcutaneous fat. If the inflammatory lesion spreads deeper, phlegmon and deep vein thrombosis may occur. 20 % to 50 % of patients suffering from deep vein thrombosis develop post-thrombotic syndrome.
