Abstract

Chronic venous insufficiency is a common condition with clinical signs ranging from minor telangiectasias, varicose veins, edema to more severe stages with skin manifestations as eczema, lipodermatosclerosis and venous ulcers [1-3]. The diagnosis relies on physical examination (C of the CEAP classification, “Clinical Etiology Anatomy Pathophysiology†) [4] as well as noninvasive testing [3,5]. Duplex ultrasound (DUS) is considered to be gold standard and provides diagnostic information about the anatomical distribution of the disease [3,6].
