Perforator vein incompetence in chronic venous disease: A multivariate regression analysis model

Perforator Vein Incompetence in CVD Patients

S everal investigators have shown the flow patterns and morphologic characteristics of perforator veins in healthy subjects and in patients with chronic venous disease (CVD). The complex nature of CVD, having many different factors associated with disease severity and deterioration, has made it difficult to elucidate the role of perforator vein incompetence. In this article, many of the importa...

Case of perforator incompetence.

Level 2: Duplex scanning of the left leg (May 1989) showed absence of the greater saphenous vein. The common femoral and profunda femoris veins were patent and competent. There was partial reca nalization of the superficial femoral and popliteal veins. The posterior tibial vein was also recanalized. No perforating veins were identified. Duplex scan Sep 1997: left superficial femoral and poplite...
