Office based CHIVA: A conceptual variation of CHIVA. The OB CHIVA survey

CHIVA was ideated in 1988 by C Franceschi in France and was aimed to provide a conservative therapy for chronic venous insufficiency. Though CHIVA is based on an interesting hemodynamics model, many people find it time consuming and difficult to understand. In 2009 F Passariello and N Morrison performed the first Office Based CHIVA (OB CHIVA) interventions. The aim of the present interview/review is to underline the issues posed by OB CHIVA. We interviewed well-known and recognized experts like BB Lee, N Morrison, T King, C Lattimer, M Patel, F Passariello and asked them to share their perspectives about OB Chiva.
