Clinical Tests Combined with Color Doppler Versus Color Doppler Alone in Identifying Incompetent Perforator Veins of the Lower Limb: A Prospective Analytical Study
Background The color Doppler, a better investigation to identify the perforators objectively has replaced the clinical examination for the same. However, this has led to a significant number of negative explorations and cosmetic disfigurement. Objective To compare the efficacy of the clinical tests combined with the color Doppler versus color Doppler alone to identify the perforator incompetenc...
متن کاملPerforator 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...
متن کاملEarly results from a randomized trial of saphenous surgery with or without subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery in patients with a venous ulcer.
BACKGROUND The aim was to clarify the role of incompetent perforators (IPs) in venous leg ulcers. This short-term report focused on safety, patient satisfaction and the fate of IPs after subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS), or saphenous surgery alone. METHODS Patients aged 30-78 years with an open or recently healed venous ulcer, and with an incompetent saphenous vein and IPs, wer...
متن کاملVenous Ulcer--a New Therapeutic Approach.
Trophic leg ulcer is a major health problem affecting approximately 1-2% of the population, the incidence being higher in the elderly (70-80 years). It is a multifactorial condition, but the most common cause is chronic venous insufficiency. This can be attributed to reflux in the saphenous system and calf perforator vein incompetence. These were first described by Linton, the first interventio...
متن کاملAssociation of venous volume and diameter of incompetent perforator veins in the lower limb--implications for perforator vein surgery.
PURPOSE To define the association between venous volume as measured with air-plethysmography and the duplex ultrasound measured diameter of incompetent perforator of the lower limb. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with chronic venous disease were investigated with air-plethysmography and duplex ultrasound. Venous volume and venous filling time was measured. Venous filling index was c...
