Phlebology. 2014 Aug;29(7):415-27. doi: 10.1177/0268355513484143. Epub 2013 May 3.

Abstract

Chronic venous disorder is one of the most prevalent medical conditions in the US that carries significant economic and health burden. The knowledge into venous pathophysiology, how it develops, and the true quality of life benefits of various treatment options are largely unknown. A truly meaningful clinical data capture system specifically for venous disorder may provide answers to the paucity of data. We describe a modern system to capture research and best practice data using the state of art information technology.

Keywords: chronic venous disorder; endovenous thermal ablation; registry; saphenous veins; venous insufficiency.
