Abstract
The occurrence of the Peregrine's ulcer is scientifically explainable but its miraculous healing in one night cannot be explained by the current scientific knowledge. The long history of fluid mechanics, anatomic and pathophysiologic discoveries led to the better knowledge of hemodynamics in pathophysiology. The last technologies provided strong means to the assessment of venous insufficiency, especially Duplex Ultrasound. Renewed hemodynamic concepts provide a better explanation of the pathophysiology of venous leg ulcers as well as reliable outcomes and less recurrences for varicose veins and ulcers.
