Purpose or Statement of Need
The purpose of this journal-based CME activity is to enhance the vascular specialist's ability to diagnose and care for patients through a comprehensive review of contemporary vascular surgical and endovascular literature.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this activity, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the clinical significance of isolated GSV reflux and the role of junctional reflux in the evaluation of patients with chronic venous insufficiency.
2. Interpret the evidence from this study which compares clinical outcomes after endovenous ablation in patients with isolated GSV reflux versus combined GSV and SFJ reflux.
3. Apply current evidence, CPGs, and AUC to determine appropriate treatment (interventional or conservative) based on symptom severity and truncal reflux, rather than the presence or absence of SFJ reflux.
