Abstract

Chronic venous disease (CVD) of the lower extremities is a complex process encompassing abnormalities related to venous drainage secondary to thrombotic and non-thrombotic pathologies. CVD can have an untold economic impact due to lost productivity and the costs of treating its sequela and underlying aetiologies. Building a comprehensive venous service for the treatment of CVD requires a multifaceted approach with longitudinal care, similar to those that have been developed for peripheral arterial disease and oncology
