[Rational and mini-invasive approach to the therapy in varicose syndrome: the C.H.I.V.A. treatment].

The principles of the C.H.I.V.A. (Ambulatory conservative and haemodynamic therapy of venous insufficiency) procedure are reported. According to the Authors a careful haemodynamic evaluation of the venous system strictly correlates to the clinical and functional results. In their experience, in fact, results showed no variceal recurrence and a very low rate of complications. Therefore, the C.H.I.V.A. procedure is recommended for most of the patients with lower limb varices.
