AB  - Lower  extremity  venous  disease  is  extremely  common,  with  varicose  veins  remaining  the  most  frequently  encountered  venous  condition  followed  by  chronic  venous  insufficiency.1,2  The  two  conditions  often  occur  together,  but  each  condition  may  also  be  present  clinically  without  the  other.  Lower  extremity  venous  disease  comprises  a  clinical  spectrum  ranging  from  completely  asymptomatic  telangiectasias  to  symptomatic  varicose  veins  to  debilitating  venous  ulcers.1,2  The  most  frequently  encountered  symptoms  associated  with  varicose  veins  include  leg  swelling,  pain,  itching,  nocturnal  cramping,  and  leg  heaviness.  Patients  with  chronic  venous  insufficiency  often  present  with  leg  edema,  skin  hyperpigmentation,  stasis  dermatitis  of  the  skin  involving  the  ankles,  fibrosis  of  the  subcutaneous  fat  (lipodermatosclerosis),  and  ulceration.1,2  Lower  extremity  venous  ulceration  remains  a  significant  worldwide  health  problem  resulting  in  significant  morbidity.1,2
