Abstract
CVI is a common disease with significant morbidity that results from venous hypertension of the extremities. Increased perfusion pressure probably traps excessive numbers of white blood cells in the capillaries. Activated leukocytes subsequently damage capillary endothelium, increase capillary permeability, and cause ischemia of the overlying skin as a result of leakage of fibrinogen and formation of a fibrin cuff. Diagnosis of CVI is not difficult because its clinical manifestations are usually evident. Vascular compression therapy remains the foundation of medical management for CVI. Refractory cases may require a combined medical and operative approach.
