Venous disease is common, chronic, and often underestimated. This episode explores the spectrum of venous disorders including varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis, and venous ulceration.

Listeners are guided through venous anatomy and physiology, risk factors for thrombosis, and the clinical consequences of impaired venous return. The discussion highlights the importance of duplex ultrasound in diagnosis, alongside conservative, interventional, and surgical treatment strategies.

Particular emphasis is placed on long-term management, patient education, and prevention of recurrence — recognising that venous disease often requires sustained partnership rather than one-off intervention.

This chapter teaches clinicians to respect venous pathology not for its drama, but for its persistence — and the cumulative burden it places on patients’ lives.
