Why the Asian Venous Forum

One shared commitment to better venous care

The Asian Venous Forum brings together clinicians with a shared commitment to improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of venous disease across Asia. As a dedicated venous forum within the Asian Society of Vascular Surgery (ASVS), we provide a platform for education, research and collaboration focused on conditions ranging from varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency to deep vein thrombosis, post-thrombotic syndrome, venous ulcers and pelvic venous disorders.

Venous disease affects people across all age groups and communities. Its impact extends beyond visible veins: pain, swelling, skin changes and ulceration can restrict mobility, disrupt employment and reduce quality of life.

Annual meetings were traditionally held together with the Asian Society for Vascular Surgery.

Conditions we focus on

  • Varicose veins
  • Chronic venous insufficiency
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Post-thrombotic syndrome
  • Venous ulcers
  • Pelvic venous disorders
What we do
