Endoglin and Other Angiogenesis Markers in Recurrent Varicose Veins.

Background: Surgery on varicose veins (crossectomy and stripping) may lead to recurrence, with clinical and socioeconomic repercussions. The etiopathogenesis of varicose veins has yet to be fully understood.

Objective: Study the expression of endoglin and other molecules involved in the neovascularisation process in patients suffering from this disease.
