Abstract
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is often ignored or poorly managed by primary care providers (PCPs). A literature review was conducted to determine the most relevant guidelines for PCPs to treat CVI with and without ulceration. PCPs must be aware of the risk factors, early signs, and symptoms of CVI in order to promote prevention and provide early treatment, thereby avoiding the permanent consequences of CVI and costly treatment of ulcerations.
