title: Problems and resolution of lower extremity venous disease.
abstract: Venous aberrations in the lower extremity, whether acute or chronic, have disastrous effects on individual patients, their families, and society in general. Whether the challenge is the treatment of varicose veins or that of maintaining patency of a venous reconstruction, it is obvious that many questions remain unanswered. Additional experimental research and clinical experience must be documented in carefully organized scientific studies.
