Overview
An estimated 20% of adults will have some form of venous disease in their lives, making this a common complaint for many PCPs. Varicose veins can lead to irreversible complications if not identified and treated appropriately, including lymphedema, VTEs, and venous ulcers. Learn how to properly identify these patients and how to best manage their care. Learn about deep and superficial venous anatomy, ordering and interpreting duplex ultrasound reports, and surgical and non-surgical management of this common disease. We will cover best practice guidelines for the pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of VTEs in the outpatient setting. This presentation's goal is to highlight the importance of early identification of venous disease, and prescribing the appropriate treatment, in order to minimize complications from this common problem.
Objectives
- Identify signs and symptoms that are suspicious for venous insufficiency.
- Describe different treatment options for varicose veins.
- Identify complications from untreated venous insufficiency.
- Use appropriate guidelines for prescribing anticoagulation based on VTE location, extent, and patient’s risk factors.
- Describe typical presentation of venous leg ulcers and prescribe the appropriate management.
