Chronic Venous Insufficiency, the first volume in the Contemporary Endovascular Management series, presents a current, succinct review of the rapidly evolving field of venous disease. In recognition of the significant effects of venous disease on patients and the quickly changing modes of therapy in the field, this volume fulfills the need for a comprehensive assessment of the treatment paradigms and innovative techniques now available. Volume 1 examines varicose veins, chronic venous reconstructions, and arteriovenous malformations from initial presentation through imaging and diagnosis to general and advanced therapies. As leaders in their field, the authors of Chronic Venous Insufficiency focus their contributions on current and relevant research and facts, specifically aiming to close knowledge gaps as well as to provide essential information for the practicing physician, the trainee, and the midlevel provider.

Audiences for Chronic Venous Insufficiency:
