Raghavendra Rao, General Surgeon at Vein Clinic, Founder of Best Surgical Education, LLC, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Yan Deng et al. published in European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, adding:

“Longitudinal studies show that the link between chronic venous disease (this meant varicose veins for most studies) and venous thromboembolism may not be as robust as we once thought.”

Title: Chronic Venous Disease as a Prognostic Factor for Venous Thromboembolism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
