Phlebolymphedema is a consequence of venous and lymphatic insufficiency. Underdiagnosed and poorly treated, phlebolymphedema can cause venous ulcers, recurrent skin infections or cellulitis, and decreased quality of life. Clinicians frequently recommend compression therapy including pneumatic compression pumps to treat venous insufficiency and lymphedema. Though these are appropriate, a thorough assessment must be completed to ensure the right treatment for each patient, and when it is indicated to incorporate these modalities into the plan of care. In addition, when patients develop venous ulcers as a complication of phlebolymphedema, clinicians must know evidence-based treatments, incorporating a patient-centered approach to manage these types of wounds. This recorded session attempts to educate clinicians about the most current evidence in the diagnosis, complications( such as venous ulcers), and treatment of phlebolymphedema. This session will also provide some tools to successfully manage this condition.
