Abstract
Perforator veins (PVs) are one of three major venous systems in the leg directly linked to serious manifestations of chronic venous disease (CVD) including venous ulceration. Although its anatomical details are clearly defined, the physiology and clinical importance of PVs continue to remain less explicit. This chapter will review the evidence to support the diagnosis, indication for treatment, noninvasive and invasive options for management of PVs.
