This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) and associated morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension and hypothyroidism on venous disease clinical scores as per Clinical, Etiological,

BACKGROUND Chronic venous insufficiency is a frequently occurring disease consisting of a characteristic symptom complex and ulcerations. Normally, varicose veins with reflux or obstruction can be found. However, these symptoms have also been described in obese people and are considered functional

Association between chronic venous disease and obesity has recently been studied, with indications that it may worsen in obese patients.

BACKGROUND Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is the most frequent complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Its diagnosis is based on clinical characteristics. However, symptoms and signs of PTS are non-specific, and could result from concomitant primary venous insufficiency (PVI) rather than DVT.

BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for chronic venous insufficiency and venous thromboembolism. The aim of this study was to compare venous flow parameters of the lower limbs assessed by duplex ultrasound scanning in obese and nonobese individuals according to body mass index (BMI). METHODS Venous

OBJECTIVE To study the extent of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in Thai patients by assessing venous clinical severity scores (VCSSs), venous disability scores (VDSs) and prevalence of lower limb venous reflux in a cohort of patients attending a vascular surgery clinic. METHODS Prospective

The Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) of inferior limbs is a widespread disease, with an increasing incidence as a consequence of longer life expectance, life-style, obesity, smoking, use of drugs as oestrogens and progestins and working conditions. Medical therapy is still lacking for evidence of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate patient characteristics, practice patterns, and outcomes for patients treated for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). BACKGROUND Chronic venous insufficiency is a common problem treated using open or endovascular methods by physicians from a number of surgical and nonsurgical

OBJECTIVE We present a case of recurrent bilateral lower extremity venous stasis ulcers in association with a superficial venous aneurysm at the right saphenofemoral junction that was misdiagnosed on preoperative duplex scanning. METHODS A 53-year-old female presented to our clinic with 6-year
