  • First Online:
Chronic Venous Disorders of the Lower Limbs

Abstract

Chronic obstruction of the venous system in the lower limb is commonly encountered in the femoroiliocaval segment and the commonest pathology is post-thrombotic. Nonthrombotic iliac vein lesion, due to extra luminal compression, is now increasingly identified as a cause for chronic venous disorder. In the infrainguinal segment, obstructions result from post-thrombotic pathology.
