The paper presents a current understanding of chronic venous insufficiency that develops in venous forms of dysplasia. Management of venous dysplasia must be based on multidisciplinary approach including comprehensive diagnosis (predominantly noninvasive), integrative surgical and non-surgical treatment. Modern therapy must be complex and carried out in highly specialized facilities. Best functional and esthetic results can be achieved only through combined therapy. When surgical or non-surgical interventions are inappropriate or impossible, management focus must be placed on clinical control of vascular anomaly (follow-up and compression-based conservative treatment) aimed at minimization of its unfavorable impact on vital functions and at quality of life improvement.
