AB  - To  excel  in  phlebology,  the  physician  must  understand  the  basic  concepts  of  compression,  including  physiologic  effects,  common  terms,  rationale  for  the  use  of  compression  in  the  prevention  and  treatment  of  varicose  and  telangiectatic  veins,  as  well  as  the  rationale  and  use  following  sclerotherapy,  ambulatory  phlebectomy,  and  endovenous  ablation.  Although  modern  compression  stockings  have  been  an  invention  of  twentieth-century  medicine,  the  concept  of  compression  for  varicose  veins  dates  back  to  antiquity.  Compression  therapy  for  treatment  of  venous  disease  was  mentioned  in  the  Old  Testament  (Book  of  Isaiah,  chapter  1,  verse  6).1  Roman  soldiers  noted  that  the  application  of  tight  bindings  to  the  legs  could  reduce  leg  fatigue.  In  the  late  1700s,  Theden  used  modified  lace-up  dog  leather  stockings,  originally  described  by  Fabrizio  d’Aquapendente  (1537–1619),  in  the  treatment  of  varicose  veins  of  pregnancy.
