Microembolism during foam sclerotherapy of varicose veins.
To the Editor: Chronic venous insufficiency is a common disease in adulthood. One recently developed therapy for varicose veins is foam sclerotherapy.1 We used foam sclerotherapy in a 51-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman who had symptomatic varicose great saphenous veins and were otherwise healthy. Immediately after the initiation of treatment, transient scotomas developed in the man, and a ...
متن کاملAnatomical variations of saphenofemoral junction encountered during venous surgery
Objectives: The term, ‘varicose veins’ is used commonly to describe the enlargement and tortuosity of lower extremity veins. However varicose veins can occur elsewhere. The traditional surgical treatment has been vein stripping to remove the affected veins. In this article we aimed to present common anatomical variations of saphenofemoral junction encountered during surgical procedures in young...
متن کاملBalloon assisted valsalva maneuver in the diagnosis of saphenofemoral junction incompetence.
BACKGROUND Conventional Valsalva maneuver (CV) is a standardprocedure to exhibit reverse venous flow atsaphenofemoral junction (SFJ) by duplex ultrasonography (DUS). However some patients could not undergo CV during examination. OBJECTIVE Compare blowing party balloon assisted Valsalva (PBAV) with CV for exhibiting the reverse venous flow at SFJ incompetence. MATERIAL AND METHOD Forty patie...
متن کاملRegarding "Venous valves and major superficial tributary veins near the saphenofemoral junction".
BACKGROUND Venous valves are still discussed controversially, mainly because it is still uncertain whether primarily missing or insufficient valves or the weakness of the venous walls cause varices. Furthermore, the distribution and frequencies of major superficial tributary veins (MSTVs), which should discharge the great saphenous vein (GSV) between the terminal (TV) and preterminal valve (PTV...
متن کاملFoam Sclerotherapy during Shunt Surgery for Portal Hypertension and Varices
Objective This preliminary study investigated the clinical safety and efficacy of foam sclerotherapy during shunt surgery to treat portal hypertension and gastroesophageal varices. Methods Seven patients with confirmed portal hypertension and a variceal bleeding history underwent mesocaval shunt with simultaneous polidocanol foam injection into the varices. Computed tomography and endoscopic ...
