Chronic venous disease is extremely common. Active or healed venous leg ulcers occur in approximately 1 percent of the general population. Chronic venous disease has a considerable impact on health care resources accounting for 1 to 3 percent of the total health care budgets in countries with developed health care systems.
Chronic venous disease of the lower limbs is manifested by a range of signs, from varicose veins to venous ulcers.
Signs of CVD include edema, venous eczema, hyperpigmentation of skin of the ankle, atrophie blanche (white scar tissue), and lipodermatosclerosis (induration caused by fibrosis of the subcutaneous fat) .

Stripping of the great saphenous vein is the most common surgery for CVI (chronic venous insuffisiency), but it carries a hight rate of complications (infection, nerve injury, pain...). ICVD as been developing a program of endolaser therapy for more than 10 years resulting in a dramatic decrease of complications. Endolaser therapy is an ambulatory surgery allowing fast recovery.
