摘要

Purpose of review

Venous insufficiency (VI) is a is a common and debilitating disease that can present with a wide range of manifestations ranging from telangiectasias to venous ulceration. The chapter explores various endovascular and open-surgical modalities used for VI, their technique, patient selection, outcomes, complications, and comparison with other modalities.

Recent findings

The use of non-thermal and non-tumescent ablation techniques are found to have a better quality of life scores; however, the primary closure rates are inferior to thermal ablation techniques.

Summary

A wide range of treatment modalities are available, ranging from conservative management, endovascular techniques and open-surgical options. Each intervention has its unique benefits, limitations, and potential complications. The management approach for VI is not one-fits-all, and must be meticulously tailored to each patient, carefully considering their disease severity, anatomy, quality of life, and expectations, for an effective treatment.
