Defective venous valves cannot be replaced or fixed. Superficial venous refluxes can be repaired by surgical removal or sclerotherapy of the varicose vein(s). However, chronic venous disease due to deep venous incompetence - such as in post-thrombotic syndrome - cannot be cured.
Chronic venous disease evolves with time. The therapy consists of methods that help to reduce the "ambulatory venous hyperpressure".
Phlebologists, - physicians specialized in veno-lymphatic diseases -, all agree that compression stockings are THE basic treatment of venous disease. This is the reason why medical compression stockings are recognized as a medicine.
SIGVARIS medical compression stockings combined with movement will ease the venous blood return, decrease the hyperpressure, and slow down the evolution of the disease.
