The most common causes of lower extremity wounds are venous and arterial insufficiency, both leading to vascular ulcers that are difficult to manage. In this session, we will review the etiology, risk factors, and clinical presentation of both arterial and venous ulcers. A deep dive into diagnostic tests and measures, as well as interventions and treatment options, will be included. You will walk away with the latest advancements and evidence-based treatments to provide the best possible care to your patients.
