Abstract

It has been felt for a long time now that there is a need for a simple but complete classification of lower limb venous diseases, and many proposals concerning this matter have appeared in literature. The object of the new classification prepared at Maui, Hawaii, in 1994 is not only that of placing chronic venous diseases of the lower limbs under different profiles (clinical, etiological, anatomical, physiopathological), but also of supplying a numerical score concerning the seriousness of the disease.
