Chronic leg venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins of the legs are
damaged, or the malfunction of the venous valves results in impaired blood flow.
1
The standard classification method for chronic venous insufficiency of the lower
extremities is the Clinical Etiologic Anatomic Pathophysiologic (CEAP) classification.
2
However, the interpretation of these diagnostic methods depends on the experience
levels of the medical experts. Invasive venous pressure measurement methods include
venography and intravascular ultrasound devices.
1
These measurement methods burden the medical professional and the patient heavily.
Therefore, a simple and noninvasive method of venous pressure measurement is required
for the early detection and treatment of chronic leg venous insufficiency.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
