Abstract
Varicose veins, a subgroup of peripheral cardiovascular diseases, predominantly afflict the lower extremities and pose substantial challenges in both diagnosis and treatment due to their
newlinecomplex and multifaceted etiology. The development of varicose veins is driven by a
newlinecombination of hormonal, environmental, and molecular factors. This highlights the necessity
newlinefor advanced diagnostic methods and innovative therapeutic approaches to enhance patient
newlineoutcomes. A comprehensive understanding of varicose veins requires an in-depth exploration
newlineof
newlinetheir epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic methods, such as duplex
newlineultrasonography and factor-based classification systems. The effectiveness of current
newlinediagnostic tools in detecting chronic venous diseases must be thoroughly evaluated. Emerging
newlinetherapies, such as sclerotherapy and endovenous thermal ablation, show promising outcomes
newlinebut come with economic challenges and concerns regarding patient compliance. Studies on
newlinevenous wall remodelling and inflammatory pathways emphasize the importance of precise
newlinediagnostic tools and tailored therapeutic approaches. However, nanotechnology holds
newlinesignificant potential for revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins, paving
newlinethe way for more effective and targeted interventions. Although nanotherapeutics hold great
newlinepromise for treating varicose veins, the development of these advanced treatments encounters
newlineseveral substantial challenges. The principal challenges encompass the lack of validated animal
newlinemodels and an insufficient body of literature specifically focused on the application of
newlinenanoparticles for the treatment of this condition.
newlineThe thesis details the development of an innovative nano-carrier system specifically designed
newlineto overcome these challenges and effectively mitigate the progression of varicose veins. The
newlinedevelopment of drug-induced animal models for varicose veins is a crucial step in
newlineunderstanding the condition and evaluating potential therapies. This phas
