- Abstract:
The article offers suggestions for the prevention of venous ulcers. Compression stockings are suggested for patients with signs of increased ambulatory venous hypertension and postphlebitic syndrome. Exercise to increase calf muscle pump function is stated to be helpful in long-term maintenance and venous ulcer prevention. It is stated that surgery on the venous system such as venous ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and valvuloplasty can help decrease venous hypertension.
