Graduated compression in pelvic venous disease

Abstract

Pelvic venous disease (PeVD) are a not rare cause of venous insufficiency in the leg that is frequently underestimated and poorly managed. Graduated compression stockings (GCSs) represents a pillar in lower limb chronic venous disease (CVD). Despite these first two considerations, clear GCS indications in PeVD are still missing due to the lack of literature data on this topic. In the present short report, we offer an insight on the topic and the potential rationale for GCS use in PeVD. [Turk J Vasc Surg 2021; 30(1.100): 27-9]
