Summary
About 90 % of vascular symptoms affecting the lower limbs consist of venous diseases. Its
highest incidence occurs from the second decade of life, affecting significantly the
economically active population. Chronic Venous Insufficiency treatment aims to relieve
symptoms, treat and prevent complications, prevent recurrences and provide cosmetic
satisfaction with minimal side effects. It's current treatment includes some classic postural
measures (leg elevation), elastic stockings and bandages compression therapy and possible
medication (phlebotonics). The results in the medium and long term are unfavorable, since a
large number of patients do not get better or evolves with recurrence of symptoms. Nowadays
many, no prospective , not randomized , international studies have shown favorable results
with endovascular treatment of obstruction in the iliac vein territory in patients with
advanced Chronic Venous Insufficiency . The purpose of this prospective, double-blinded
randomized study is to evaluate the results obtained with endovascular treatment, through the
use of angioplasty and stenting in this group of patients when compared with clinical
treatment .
