Abstract
Chronic venous disorders or the more severe chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) commonly affect aging populations, causing venous hypertension and other complications in the lower limbs. This report discusses a 59-year-old Indonesian woman with a ten-year history of unresponsive foot ulcers and associated symptoms. Despite multiple treatments, including two debridement surgeries, the ulcers persisted. A duplex ultrasound diagnosis revealed CVI in the right mid-saphenous and popliteal veins. Subsequent endovascular laser therapy led to wound closure over a two-year follow-up period. The under-recognition of such chronic wound and CVI cases in Indonesia highlights the significance of this case.
