Vein Conditions

Vein disease or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a very common condition affecting an estimated 30 million Americans. It is 10 times more prevalent than PAD (peripheral arterial disease). Patients can present with a varying degree of clinical findings ranging from visibly normal legs to spider veins, to large ropy varicosities to venous ulceration. Today venous disease is classified according to the CEAP (Clinical, Etiological, Anatomical and Pathologic) classification and the clinical score is the most commonly used ranging from a C0 to a C6.
