Deep vein thrombosis, superficial vein thrombosis and acute leg varices bleeding bring patients a major complications. We summarize information about diagnostic, treatment and prevention those diseases, mainly information about recurrence of deep vein thrombosis, the bleeding risks of anticoagulacion and deciding about duration of anticoagulant therapy. We emphasize the duplex ultrasonography as a fast and easy diagnostic method of venous diseases and importance of this method for early disclosure of superficial vein thrombosis extension to deep vein system. We assume the most importance for acute leg varices bleeding is prevention with surgical removing or sclerotherapy of varicose veins.
