OBJECTIVE To evaluate the occurrence of reflux from the great saphenous vein by color Doppler ultrasonography in subjects undergoing treatment of insufficiency of the saphenofemoral junction by simple ligation or ligation with section of the saphenous arch. METHODS We performed 60 operations (in 45 subjects) of varicose insufficiency of the saphenofemoral junction (SFJ), belonging to the CEAP...

Background: Presence of reflux in saphenofemoral and saphenopopliteal junctions represents important data for indication of varicose vein surgery. Studies demonstrated that in most patients with chronic venous insufficiency junctions are competent and reflux is present in segments in the course of saphenous veins. Objectives: To identify the probability of different reflux patterns in the saphe...

BACKGROUND The aim of this case-control study was to determine whether preoperative duplex imaging could predict the outcome of varicose vein surgery without saphenofemoral junction (SFJ) disconnection. The duplex protocol included a reflux elimination test (RET) and assessment of the competence of the terminal valve of the femoral vein. METHODS One hundred patients with chronic venous diseas...

The objective of the study was to improve medical care pregnant women with varicose disease based on results duplex ultrasound examination veins lower extremities, as well clinical and laboratory parameters. We evaluated data 128 performed examine venous system measuring diameter great saphenous vein (GSV) into saphenofemoral junction, midthigh, thigh investigating reflux. competent incompetent...
