Abstract
Summary Points Lower limb venous disease encompasses a wide spectrum of pathology, the importance of which relates to high prevalence rather than mortality. The complications of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), namely lipodermatosclerosis and chronic venous ulceration, represent a major burden to healthcare providers and a high degree of personal morbidity for patients. Management is based upon accurate clinical diagnosis supported by non-invasive imaging. Open surgical and minimally invasive techniques are used to treat varicose veins. Chronic skin complications of CVI require a multi-disciplinary approach.
