Abstract

Varicose vein is a very common vascular disease. The most common symptom is leg pain. Long-standing jobs, pregnancy, and a positive family history are the major predisposing or precipitating factors. The mainstay of treatments includes compressive stocking, sclerotherapy, stab avulsion and stripping of vein, ligation of saphenofemoral junction, transilluminated powered phlebectomy, VNUS, and endovenous laser treatment.
