The article presents a review of epidemiologic studies concerning the progression of venous pathology in varicose veins and from varicose veins towards chronic venous insufficiency. Data from Medline and PubMed indicate that reflux progression may develop from segmental to multisegmental superficial reflux. Risk factors for the progression of varicose veins towards venous leg ulcers include skin changes, corona phlebectatica and popliteal vein reflux.
