• Opis:
  Introduction and Purpose: Varicose veins in the lower limbs are common, particularly among those with prolonged standing occupations, contributing to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). CVI affects about 60% of adults, with varicose veins present in 25–33% of women and 10–20% of men, increasing with age. Understanding and addressing this condition is crucial as it impacts daily life and raises the risk of thrombosis. Effective treatments are essential to alleviate these health issues. State of Knowledge: Varicose veins result from a mix of genetic, hemodynamic, and vein wall factors. Family history plays a significant role, increasing susceptibility. Hemodynamic issues include malfunctioning venous valves and elevated venous pressure. Vein wall changes and thrombotic activity also contribute. Symptoms range from cosmetic concerns to pain and complications like venous ulcers. Understanding these factors is key for effective management. Conclusions: Surgical treatments like high ligation and stripping are standard but have drawbacks such as scarring and long recovery. Valvuloplasty addresses deep venous valve issues but is limited. Minimally invasive options, such as endovenous laser therapy and sclerotherapy, offer promising alternatives but with some recurrence risk. Compression therapies, including elastic stockings and pneumatic compression, aid recovery and symptom relief. Elastic bandage therapy is effective but requires precise application to avoid complications. Each method has pros and cons, underscoring the need for tailored treatment approaches.
