Classification of chronic venous disorders of lower extremities and pelvis.
Variability of hemodynamic situations in different forms and stages of chronic venous disorders of lower extremities and the pelvis as well as the mushroom growth of surgical techniques used in their treatment make the author consider the correct choice of individual treatment to be the main problem. In the first place such treatment should be directed towards adequate correction of the deep venous circulation disorders providing for elimination of the main pathogenetic factors (e.g. occlusion of the main veins, pathologic impact of the gravitational column, blood regurgitation at standing and its flotation in ambulation, arterio-venous run-off, etc.). The author has revealed a classification based on systematization of most frequently observed pathology, that allows a laconic functional and topical diagnosis and provides phlebological patients with individualized treatment.
