Abstract		Varicose veins are exceedingly common and in the western world they are found in about half of the adult male and about two thirds of the adult female population. However, only 10-15% of those affected have symptoms or complications. In presented paper author describes epidemiology of chronic venous insufficiency and some related problems (superficial thrombophlebitis, venous ulcer) where more specific treatment is often needed.
Summary		Razširjenost varikozno spremenjenih ven je velika in v zahodnih državah jih ima skorajda polovica odraslih moških in skorajda dve tretjini odraslih žensk. Pomerribno manjše je število tistih (10-15%), ki imajo zaradi tega bolezenske težave ali se pri njih pojavljajo celo zapleti. V članku avtor obravnava epidemiologijo kronične venske insuficience in nekatere specifične zaplete (povrhnji flebitis, venska razjeda), ki pogosto zahtevajo podrobnejšo obravnavo bolnika.
