PY - 2021 T2 - Venous Insufficiency AB - The well-manufactured and properly fitted compression stocking is the cornerstone of long-term treatment for chronic venous insufficiency. It allows most persons with serious venous reflux to perform upright activity while controlling symptoms and interrupting the otherwise steady progression of the disease. Symptoms are reduced and the quality of life improved even after 4 weeks of applying compression stockings [1]. In a review of many randomized controlled trials, graduated pressure from ankle to calf was high effective in venous reflux disorders; the effect was most evident among those who must stand for prolonged times [2].
