Venous investigations have increasingly gained a large part in daily phlebological activity; with the currently available diagnostic tools it's now possible to achieve a "hemodynamic" evaluation in every single patient. This in mandatory for outpatients varicose veins surgery, where sites of reflux must be exactly mapped to avoid unnecessary dissections. The authors present a personal diagnostic protocol (algorithm), they carefully prepared to assess a large number of patients avoiding useless and time-consuming examinations.
