Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
Keyword(s):
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) can result in varicose veins or, if severe, may develop skin changes and leg ulcerations. This chapter details the classification and presentation of varicose veins and venous leg ulcers (CEAP classification). It outlines the recommended investigations for CVI such as handheld Doppler scan and venous duplex ultrasound scans. The management of CVI is to improve the venous and lymphatic flow thereby improving the skin oxygen transport through reducing oedema. This can be performed by graduated compression bandages.
