Chronic venous disease is a common condition, with a prevalence as high as 50% in industrialized countries worldwide.
Of those, about 20-25% of women and 10-15% of men have visible varicose veins. Varicose vein treatment has become an
increasingly multidisciplinary field, and one that has seen cutting-edge advances and significant growth.
Felipe B. Collares, Salomao Faintuch, and a team of venous disease experts have compiled, Varicose Veins, a concise
book that covers the full range of interventional procedures for venous insufficiency. Following introductory chapters
on anatomy and pathophysiology, the authors guide readers through the clinical exam, imaging, compression therapy, and
various minimally invasive techniques. Highly practical and an affordable alternative to larger published tomes.
