Abstract: Chronic venous insufficiency(CVI), a prevalent condition within vascular surgery, displays marked variation in prevalence in the world. The management of CVI poses a significant challenge to healthcare systems and profoundly impacts patients′ well-being, warranting heightened attention. Current therapeutic approaches to CVI encompass both non-surgical and surgical interventions. Non-surgical treatments aim to alleviate symptoms through compression and medication, while surgical methods focus on repairing or removing diseased veins to restore normal blood flow. However, the effectiveness of existing treatments remains suboptimal, necessitating further research and the exploration of novel therapeutic schedule. This review article delves into the attributes and characteristics of current treatment modalities for lower extremity venous insufficiency and speculates on potential future trends in management.
