Superficial venous insufficiency: Correlation of anatomic extent of reflux with clinical symptoms and signs
[ PUBLICATION ]
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the distribution and extent of valvular incompetence in patients with reflux confined to the superficial venous system and correlate the extent of such reflux with clinical symptoms and signs.
METHODS: Two hundred fifty-five limbs of 217 patients with superficial venous insufficiency and normal perforating and deep veins were examined with color-flow duplex imaging. One hundred twenty-three limbs (48.2%) of 102 patients had reflux confined to ...

Venous reflux in patients with previous deep venous thrombosis: Correlation with ulceration and other symptoms
[ PUBLICATION ]
PURPOSE: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in many cases leads to chronic symptoms in the damaged leg, even though the affected veins have recanalized. The major hemodynamic defect in such recanalized veins is reflux. The incidence and extent of reflux has been studied in patients with proven DVT and correlated with concurrent symptoms.
METHODS: Two hundred seventeen limbs in 183 patients were examined by duplex scanning from January 1989 to October 1992. All limbs had previous DVT diagnosed by ...

To what extent has endovascular aneurysm repair influenced abdominal aortic aneurysm management in the state of Illinois?
[ PUBLICATION ]
PURPOSE: This study was performed using population-based data to determine the changing trends in the techniques for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in the state of Illinois during the past 9 years and to examine the extent to which endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has influenced overall AAA management.
METHODS: All records of patients who underwent AAA repair (1995 to 2003 inclusive) were retrieved from the Illinois Hospital Association COMPdata database. The outcome as ...

OBJECTIVES: because reflux in superficial vein tributaries is most often collectively reported with the main saphenous veins, its importance remains largely unrecognised. This study was designed to identify the distribution and extent of non-truncal superficial venous reflux and its association with the signs and symptoms of chronic venous disease (CVD).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: eighty-four limbs in 62 patients with signs and symptoms of CVD and evidence of reflux on continuous-wave Doppler ...

The role of the distribution and anatomic extent of reflux in the development of signs and symptoms in chronic venous insufficiency
[ PUBLICATION ]
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the distribution of venous reflux in patients with different patterns of reflux with each class.
METHODS: Color-flow duplex imaging was used to evaluate the entire venous system from groin to ankle in 465 patients (594 limbs) belonging to different clinical CVI classes (0, 1, 2, and 3). A history of previous superficial thrombophlebitis was present in five limbs and past deep vein thrombosis in 70.
RESULTS: One hundred seventy eight ...

Duplex Ultrasound Investigation of the Veins in Chronic Venous Disease of the Lower Limbs—UIP Consensus Document. Part II. Anatomy
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVES: Duplex ultrasound investigation has become the reference standard in assessing the morphology and haemodynamics of the lower limb veins. The project described in this paper was an initiative of the Union Internationale de Phlébologie (UIP), The aim was to obtain a consensus of international experts on the methodology to be used for assessment of anatomy of superficial and perforating veins in the lower limb by ultrasound imaging.
DESIGN: Consensus conference leading to a ...

Recurrent varicose veins: Investigation of the pattern and extent of reflux with color flow duplex scanning
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to investigate with color flow duplex imaging the patterns and the extent of venous valvular incompetence in recurrent varicose vein disease.
METHODS: One hundred thirty-four limbs of 123 unselected patients who arrived in the outpatient clinic with residual or recurrent varicose veins after undergoing an operation were included. Limbs with history of compression sclerotherapy before or after the operation were excluded. The long (LSV) and short ...

PURPOSE: This prospective study was designed to determine the upper limits of normal for duration and maximum velocity of retrograde flow (RF) in lower extremity veins.
METHODS: Eighty limbs in 40 healthy subjects and 60 limbs in 45 patients with chronic venous disease were examined with duplex scanning in the standing and supine positions. Each limb was assessed for reflux at 16 venous sites, including the common femoral, deep femoral, and proximal and distal femoral veins; proximal and ...

BACKGROUND: there has been much controversy on the role of perforator veins in the development of chronic venous disease (CVD). This study was designed to determine the duration and direction of flow of lower limb perforator veins (PVs) in relation to their location, diameter and competency status of superficial and deep veins, in healthy volunteers and patients with different grades of CVD.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: thirty limbs in 15 symptom-free volunteers and 103 limbs in 75 patients ...

Incidence, progression, and risk factors for endovenous heat-induced thrombosis after radiofrequency ablation
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVE: Endovenous radiofrequency ablation has become an accepted mode of treatment for superficial venous reflux. In this study, we evaluated the incidence of endovenous heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT), its progression, and risk factors that may contribute to its formation.
METHODS: This was a prospective study of all patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation of the great saphenous vein (GSV), accessory GSV, and small saphenous vein (SSV) from March 1, 2010, to September 30, ...

BACKGROUND: Information on nonsaphenous superficial venous reflux is lacking. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of reflux in nonsaphenous veins, their association and correlation with risk factors, and signs and symptoms of chronic venous disease (CVD).
METHODS: Information on 835 limbs in patients with signs and symptoms of CVD were prospectively entered into a customized database. These patients had been referred from the venous clinic to the vascular laboratory for ...

PURPOSE: In the search for calf deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with color-flow duplex scanning (CFDS), most vascular laboratories investigate only the posterior tibial and peroneal veins. Few laboratories assess the soleal and gastrocnemial veins. This study was designed to determine the patterns and distribution of isolated calf DVT, including the soleal and gastrocnemial veins.
METHODS: In the last 3 years, 5250 patients (mean age, 66 +/- 15 years; range, 22 to 93 years) were referred to ...

The impact of isolated lesser saphenous vein system incompetence on clinical signs and symptoms of chronic venous disease
[ PUBLICATION ]
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the patterns of isolated lesser saphenous vein (LSV) system incompetence and correlate the distribution and extent of such reflux with symptoms and signs of chronic venous disease (CVD).
METHODS: During a 3-year period, 2254 limbs in 1682 patients with signs and symptoms of CVD were evaluated with color flow duplex scanning. Extremities with isolated reflux in the LSV system were selected for this study. Limbs with perforating venous ...

[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine the cerebrovascular risk stratification potential of baseline degree of stenosis, clinical features, and ultrasonic plaque characteristics in patients with asymptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis.
METHODS: This was a prospective, multicenter, cohort study of patients undergoing medical intervention for vascular disease. Hazard ratios for ICA stenosis, clinical features, and plaque texture features associated with ...
