Lower-limb venous insufficiency resulting from saphenous vein incompetence is a common disorder, increasing with age. For decades, surgical stripping of the great saphenous vein has been the gold standard in varicose vein treatment. The desire to optimize outcomes of treatment and reduce surgical trauma has led to the development of endovenous techniques. Today, several endovenous techniques ar...

The Parkes Weber syndrome is a congenital vascular malformation, characterized by varicose veins, arterio-venous fistulas and overgrown limbs. No broadly accepted animal model of Parkes Weber syndrome has been described. We created side-to-side arterio-venous fistula between common femoral vessels with proximal non-absorbable ligature on common femoral vein limiting the enlargement of the vein ...

Background: Varicose veins are considered a chronic venous disease. Delaying treatment might cause several late complications that contribute to high burden on healthcare systems. It may be treated with endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and stab avulsion as additional procedures. direct has been promoted replace in certain conditions. The purpose of this report is des...

BC Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) is the preferred term to indicate thrombosis of any segment of the superficial vein system. SVT encompasses some older terms, such as superficial phlebitis (also called superficial thrombo­ phlebitis); suppurative thrombophlebitis (also called septic thrombophlebitis); and superficial femoral vein thrombosis (a misnomer). SVT also encompasses many current te...

Varicose veins occur commonly in the general population but, MTHFR is an enzyme that is important in homocysteinemetabolism. despite much research, the etiology of venous disease is still poorly understood. The pathogenesis of the vein dilatation remains obscure in spite of the evidence of a primary defect in the vein wall. A number of epidemiological studies have shown that, in addition to env...

introduction: traumatic arteriovenous fistula (avf) called to an abnormal relationship between artery and vein which occurs in 10% of arterial traumas. if treatment of avf due to trauma delayed, different outcomes including heart failure, varices and varicose ulcers may accure. in case of chronic traumatic avf, open surgery may lead to remarkable outcomes, presence of many lateral veins and var...

OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of magnetic resonance venography (MRV) for pelvis and deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities before surgical interventions for varicose veins. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 72 patients who underwent MRV and ultrasonography before stripping for varicose veins of lower extremities. All images of the deep venous systems were evaluated by time-of-fli...

Varicose veins are a common condition attecting approximately 10 million patients in Japan. The main cause of varicose veins is reflux of the saphenous vein, and conventional treatment for several decades was stripping the affected saphenous vein and phlebectomy. Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) is a less-invasive treatment method in which the saphenous vein is ablated with a laser under local...

Introduction Although saphenofemoral junction aneurysms are not so rare, only scarce of the published cases reported thrombosis of the aneurysmal sac and saphenous trunk. Presentation of case A 65-year-old male with varicose disease, developed acute ascending superficial vein thrombosis of the left greater saphenous vein, involving the 6-cm saphenofemoral junction aneurysm. The patient underw...

A lumbar epidural varicose vein is a rare clinical condition that can lead to neurological deficits. 3 types of lumbar epidural varicose veins were described according to the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings: Type 1 is a thrombosed dilated epidural vein, type 2 is a non-thrombosed dilated epidural vein and type 3 is a sub-membraneous epidural hematoma. Enlarged epidural venous plexuses...
