本指南由时任ESVS大会副主席Marianne De Maeseneer女士，全权授权予纪永威教授(中国台湾)将欧洲慢性静脉疾病诊疗指南，为海峡两岸及港澳地区以及其他使用中文服务于患者的医生同业提供无偿服务。纪教授邀请陈忠教授、符伟国教授、郭伟教授三位教授共同编译，连续连载，为广大医疗专业人士提供重要的资源，帮助他们根据最新的临床证据为CVD患者制定个性化的治疗方案。   

☆本指南未涵盖的领域☆

    由于可能导致冗余，ESVS 指南的一般规则是避免纳入在多个指南中覆盖的患者群体。因此，这些指南仅简单提及浅静脉血栓形成（superficial vein thrombosis，SVT）患者，而不包括深静脉血栓形成（deep vein thrombosis，DVT）患者，即使SVT和DVT都可能作为 CVD患者的急性并发症发生。由于这些急性情况需要不同的处理，读者可参考ESVS 2021年静脉血栓管理临床实践指南[2]。该指南还决定排除先天性静脉畸形（将成为未来ESVS血管畸形指南的一部分）和静脉肿瘤。

☆总结☆

    为了进一步强调指南支持性，特别邀请了欧洲和非欧洲的审查人员审阅该指南，以便服务于欧洲以外的医生。这也是所有ESVS指南都可以从出版商网站和ESVS网站www.esvs.org免费下载的原因。此外，我们还提供了ESVS临床指南应用程序，方便于日常工作使用。

☆Areas not covered by these guidelines☆

The general rule for ESVS guidelines is to avoid covering groups redundancy. Therefore, patients with superficial vein throm bosis (SVT) are mentioned only briefly and patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are not covered in these guidelines, even if both SVT and DVT may occur as acute complications in patients with CVD. As these acute conditions require different management, the reader is referred to the ESVS 2021 Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Management of Venous Thrombosis.2 It was also decided to leave out congenital venous malformations, which will be part of future ESVS guidelines on vascular malformations, as well as venous tumours.

☆ summary ☆

To further underline the supportive character of the guidelines, both European and non-European reviewers were invited to review the document, so that the document also can serve practitioners treating patients outside Europe. This is also the rationale behind the decision that all ESVS guidelines are free to download from the publisher’s website and the ESVS website www.esvs.org. In  addition, an ESVS clinical guidelines App is available, where the guidelines can be found in easily readable form for use in everyday practice.
