The advent of duplex ultrasound (DU) has changed vascular practice over the years. Venous anatomy, valve function and obstruction can be evaluated in real time using DU.

This paper defines the patterns, location and characteristics of venous reflux and also provides insightful information on acute and chronic venous obstruction.
