Abstract:
:Management of venous ulceration has evolved tremendously during the last 2 decades. There has been considerable progress in our understanding of the pathophysiology, hemodynamics, venous imaging, and therapeutic options for venous ulcers, including endovenous ablation, iliac vein stenting, and vein-valve repair techniques. Details of these procedures are described in this issue of Seminars. With so many permutations and combinations of venous disease, including superficial and deep vein abnormalities, that produce venous ulceration, as well as a plethora of diagnostic and therapeutic tools at our disposal, it is important to have an algorithm for venous ulcer management. Also important is knowledge about risk factors that can influence poor outcomes, despite interventions for venous ulcers. In the end, authors also discuss the gray areas of venous ulcer management, which do not have common consensus and that treatment could be individualized based on patient needs.
