CHIVA is the French acronym for \u201cCure Conservatrice et H\u00e9modynamique de l\u2019Insuffisance Veineuse en Ambulatoire.\u201d
\nIt was first proposed in 1988 by French vascular surgeon Dr. Claude Franceschi. CHIVA is a treatment for varicose veins that replaces traditional destructive surgical methods. The goal of this technique is to reduce the transmural pressure in the superficial venous system while avoiding vein destruction.
\nIts main advantages include vein preservation, local anesthesia use, low recurrence rates, minimal pain, and no nerve damage.
\nHowever, it also has the drawback of a steep learning curve: physicians require extensive training to fully master the knowledge and skills related to venous hemodynamics.<\/p>\n
