Venous Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
Varicose Veins
Painful varicose veins
Superficial phlebitis
Superficial phlebothrombosis
Deep vein phlebitis
Deep vein thrombophlebitis
(chronic venous insufficiency “CVI”; post-
phlebitic syndrome; stasis edema; stasis
dermatitis; stasis ulceration; or stasis
induration)
definition- a long-standing incompetence of
the perforating veins of the lower extremity;
the perforating veins drain the superficial
saphenous system through one-way valves
into the deep system (which drains 90% of
the blood from the LE);
 Greatest number of perforators are located
posterior to the medial malleolus over the
posterior tibial veins;
 the middle perforators are located just
proximal (and extend 7-10 cm) above the
medial malleolus; e.g. location of the stasis
ulceration
definition- abnormal dilated and
valvular incompetance of the
superficial venous system due to
incompetence of the
saphenofemoral valve; usually
(75%) of hereditary etiology;
may be post- traumatic;
Varicose veins are present in 25-33% of female
and 10-20 % of male adults (Coon, 1973).
The presentation of edema and cutaneous
changes, such as stasis dermatitis and
hyperpigmentation varies from 3.0% to 11% of
the population (DaSilva, 1974).
It has been estimated that venous stasis
ulceration, occurs in 1% of the population with
overall annual costs of CVD are 3 billion dollars
in the US;
Over 11 million men and 22 million women
between the ages of 40 and 80 years have
varicose veins
1. edema (first sign- soft or “pitting” relieved with rest or
elevation; occurs just above the shoe-line;
2. venous dilation- ankle-flare sign is dilation of the small
veins underneath the medial malleolus;
3. stasis(stagnation of venous blood)
4. leg pain- heaviness or ache; venous claudication
(associated with DVT)
Heaviness of the legs; muscle weakness and fatigue;
restless leg symptoms
5. pruritis;
6. dermatitis,
7. hyperpigmentation- RBC death and brownish
hemosiderin deposition
Ulceration
Superficial veins- lie
on top of the deep
fascia (unsupported
in the saphenous
compartment) can
dilate for increased
capacitance and
contain valves even
microscopic
demonstrated
even in post
capillary

(Caggiati,
2006);
drain the skin
and
subcutaneous
tissue;
bicuspid
the anterior accessory and
posterior accessory saphenous
veins;
Vein of Giacomini–
Inter-saphenous
communicating vein connecting
GSV to SSV
Perforators- pass between the
compartments from the superficial to
deep;
connecting superficial veins of the
foot to the deep posterior tibial veins
when these become incompetent the
term “IPV” is used.
Inferior Cockett 1 perforators are direct
perforating veins located posterior to the
medial malleolus.
Middle Cockett 2 perforating veins about
7-10 cm on the lower medial leg, the
most common site of ulceration
Superior Cockett 3- medial perforators is
located in the upper third of the calf,
posterior to the tibia.
encased in a tight muscle-
fascial envelope; drain
muscles and function in the
calf-muscle pump; eg the
soleal sinusoids
relationship of the phasic muscle
contraction of the calf muscles
during gait and - eg. like cardiac
ventricles; during contraction, the calf
muscles compresses the blood
contained within the venous sinuses
and deep calf veins, thereby pumping
the blood toward the heart. Valves in
the perforators, close and prevent
retrograde flow back into the superficial
system.
deep venous pressure
and incompetence of
valves within the
perforators, net effect is
retrograde flow of blood
from the deep system;
peripheral pooling
backing up into the skin
and subcutaneous
tissue
resulting in the following
clinical manifestations
(AKA venous
hypertension);
Pathologic = ≥3.5mm in
size, outward flow >500
ms duration and located
beneath
an altered ratio between type I and III collagen and
altered function of dermal fibroblasts.
Skin biopsy in patients with VV demonstrates
inflammation with activation of leukocytes, higher
levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β-1),
fibroblasts, and matrix metaloproteinases (MMPs) and
lower levels of tissue inhibitors of
metaloproteinases(TIMPs).
It has been suggested that this MMP/TIMP imbalance
may result in a degradation of elastin and collagen
resulting in valve destruction (Michiels, 2002).

1. Venous Doppler 80-85% accurate; (B mode
imaging); color flow imaging- Doppler
 Venous Doppler: Using a handheld Doppler:
augmented sound with compression
 “ANNA” Compression Test with a hand-held
Doppler on the posterior tibial veins; this is a easy
test to determine venous reflux and venous outflow.
The Doppler remains in place over the PT veins and
go through the following maneuvers:
1. apply distal compression
to the foot (apply continued pressure to the sole of the
foot) the venous flow will be
A- augmented sound (increased sound) on distal
compression of the veins
means there in increased venous flow passed
the Doppler and no proximal
obstruction such as DVT; this is normal
N- no augmented sound (does not get louder) on
distal compression
means there in is no increased venous flow
passed the Doppler possibly due to
proximal obstruction; this is abnormal
2. Apply proximal compression (e.g. to the calve
or thigh) the venous should be
No augmentation of sound (i.e. no flow reversal
with good valves) then release the compression
and there should be
Augmented sound (i.e. increased venous outflow
due to the build up of venous pressure and
release of the compression, if there is no prox
obstruction such as DVT).

goal: reduction of venous hypertension
CBR; foot elevation; regular ambulation and exercise;
decrease BMI;
sleep in Trendelenberg position;
resolve edema (compression wraps-
eg. Ace or elastic) and stockings;
Intermittent pneumatic compression pumps;
treat ulceration (wet to dry dressings; antiseptic
scrubs; oral antibiotic);
Unna paste boot ”soft cast”;
Recommends compression therapy for patients with
CVI (Class C3-C6)
Primary therapy to aid in healing venous ulcers
Adjuvant therapy to superficial vein ablation to prevent
ulcer recurrence.
Contraindications to Compression therapy:
Severe arterial insufficiency
Cutaneous infections
Hypodermatitis in the acute phase
Wet dermatoses
Non-ambulatory uses
Diabetic microangiopathy
Congestive heart failure
Bandages may be inelastic and
stiff such as the zinc
impregnated Unna Boot or
elastic stretch bandages.
Numerous randomized
controlled trials give evidence
to support the use of Unna
Boots demonstrating improved
ulcer healing rates (McCulloch,
1994; Polignano 2004; Isabel,
2001).
 Three and four layer elastic bandages such as
Profore (global.smith-nephew.com) have proven
more effective than inelastic bandages (Kumar,
2002; Davis, 2005).
 Long stretch bandages extend by more than 100% of
their original length, whereas short stretch, extend
to less than 100% of their original length.
Compression bandages should be applied with a
graduated decreasing pressure gradient, with the
highest pressure placed at the ankle and 70%
decrease in counter-pressure at the knee.
Patient Compliance
Proper fitting
Education and reinforcement
Compressive Stockings in Patients with Varicose Veins
Marked improvement after 16 months of
therapy (70% compliance):

Compression stockings- designed to provide strongest at
the ankle and decreasing in the proximal direction
Graduated compression hose or either OTC, Rx (for the or
custom- made;
May not be graduated compression e.g. TED anti-
embolism stockings and simply are tight support hose 8-
15 mm of pressure
Come in different lengths: BK; thigh high; panty hose; for
pregnancy; for arm (post mastectomy)
The pressure ranges are measured by determining the
force that is necessary to stretch the ankle part of the
stocking in transverse direction
Compression Class Pressure (mmHg)
8-15 (light) over the counter; aka TED anti-
embolism stockings
Graduated Compression Rx
I 15 – 20 (moderate) over –the-counter
II 20 – 30 (firm)
III 30 – 40 (extra firm)
IV 40+
All can be dispensed in the office
Basic Instructions for support
stockings:
Apply first thing in am prior to
daily gravitational edema
Wear all day especially on
prolonged weight bearing or
prolonged sedentary positions with
legs in dependency
Do not sleep with the stockings.
Measure in the am before gravitation or
stasis any edema exists.
For knee-highs: measure around your
ankle and calf. Then, measure the
distance from the floor to the back of
your knee.
For thigh-high and pantyhose: measure
around your ankle, calf, and upper thigh.
Then, measure the distance from the
floor to your upper thigh (bottom of your
buttocks).
Intermittent
pneumatic
compression (IPC)
devices have been
studied extensively
for the
management of
lymphedema, CVI,
and the prevention
of DVT.
the most effective consist
of timed multi-cell
sequentially inflated air-
filled jackets in a sleeve,
pulled over the entire lower
extremity. The intermittent
positive compression
pumps designed to “milk”
the interstitial compartment
fluid back in the venous
system and proximally up
the leg.
possibly added
benefit of IPC is
that it ha been
shown to activate
plasmin and
increase
endogenous
fibrinolytoic
activity(Clark,
1960).

Selective Photothermolysis
Very conservative
No anesthesia necessary
 No morbidity
 No time off work
 Great results
 Very expensive
 Specific wavelength of light and chromophore interaction
 Intraluminal photocoagulation, vasoconstriction, endothelial
damage- “seals vessels”;
 release of heat shock protein 70; TGF-BI and BII
This is a relatively conservative, relatively non-
invasive, percutaneous procedure to thermally
heat seal and close veins utilizing either a laser
beam or radiofrequency heat source guided
though a venous catheter. It is performed under a
locally administered local anesthestic called
Tumescent anesthesia.
 The local anesthetic usually 1 % lidocaine with
epinephrine is diluted with N Saline up to 200
cc and infiltrated subcutaneously injected
along the course of the vein being treated,
using ultrasound guidance. The anesthetic
serves to provide pain relieve but also to
absorb heat and prevent thermal necrosis of the
tissues surrounding the vein.
US guided percutaneous ablation
of the SSV, GSV, accessory veins,
IPVs via EVLT or RFA.
 Indicated for:. refluxing superficial veins,
perforators and communicators
 Used either RF or lasers
 Employs Tumescent anesthesia consisting of
infiltration along the course of the saphenous
system dilauted 1% lidocaine with epifor the
purpose of a heat sink and anesthesia
 Techniques: a percutaneous procedure under US
guidance: IV catheter, guidewire, insertion of the
heating devise 120 degrees for 20 seconds in 7 cm
segments for the length of the saphenous system
Post-Op care
 Catheter removed
 Compression dressing applies and elastic
compression or support stockings for 48 hourss
 May return tor work the same day.
 No analgesia generally needed
 Return in one week for follow-up US
Less patient pain and post-op missed work
Less patient bruising and trauma
Faster recovery times
Fewer complications

#1. High ligation and venous
stripping-
for removal of the entire GSV or SSV;
generally used for CVI and or VV
This is a major invasive technique, generally performed
under general anesthesia;
Involves making one or more incisions upon the desired
area (usually just distal to the femoral triangle).
The perforator is ligated and cut and the remaining
distal GSV is isolated and opened. A long steel wire
with an triangular cone shaped acorn tip is then passed
distally down the GSV. As it is passed distally, it can be
felt through the skin.
The wire is passed distal down the saphenous system to
the level of the ankle where a second incision is made.
At the distal incision, the vein is ligated around the acorn
end.
Under unltrasound guidance, many small incisions
are made along the course of the saphenous vein to
ligate all tributary communicating veins that drain
into the saphenous.
Then, through the proximal incision (up at the
femoral triangle) the wire is pulled proximally, and
the entire saphenous system retracted and removed
from the body at the femoral triangle.
All incisions are sutured, and pressure dressings
are applied to the incision.
Indicated for CVI due to failure of the valves of
the perforating veins (IPV) resulting in venous
stasis disease and ulceration (generally done at
the level of the Cocketts 2 perforators)
Generally performed under spinal or general
anesthesia;
Procedure: this is an endoscopic procedure,
performed through a small proximal incision.
A 2-3 cm linear incision is made below the knee a few
cm above the perforators on the medial leg, centered
over , along- side of the GSV.
The incision is deepened through the skin and
subcutaneous tissue to the deep
fascia, which is underscored.
An endoscope is passed deep to the GSV and fascia
and tunneled distally, to the perforating veins
between the GSV and the tibial veins.
The veins are then clamped using multiple vascular
clips.
The endoscope with withdrawn and the wound is
closed.
 open surgical ligation of the Cocketts
perforators
One final procedure:
Another office based procedure.
ambulatory phlebectomy- generally performed under
local anesthesia in an office;
Indictions: performed to selective surgical excise small
varices, that are often communicating veins, that
remain after a Open surgical or RFA of a large
saphenous vein.
Procedure: minimally invasive small incisions
(1 cm) made over the prominent
varix; a hook is passed subcutaneously,
to hook and withdraw the vein.

Lecture 8 CVD.pptx

  • 1. Venous Venous Insufficiency (CVI) Varicose Veins Painful varicose veins Superficial phlebitis Superficial phlebothrombosis Deep vein phlebitis Deep vein thrombophlebitis
  • 2.
  • 3. (chronic venous insufficiency “CVI”; post- phlebitic syndrome; stasis edema; stasis dermatitis; stasis ulceration; or stasis induration) definition- a long-standing incompetence of the perforating veins of the lower extremity; the perforating veins drain the superficial saphenous system through one-way valves into the deep system (which drains 90% of the blood from the LE);
  • 4.  Greatest number of perforators are located posterior to the medial malleolus over the posterior tibial veins;  the middle perforators are located just proximal (and extend 7-10 cm) above the medial malleolus; e.g. location of the stasis ulceration
  • 5.
  • 6. definition- abnormal dilated and valvular incompetance of the superficial venous system due to incompetence of the saphenofemoral valve; usually (75%) of hereditary etiology; may be post- traumatic;
  • 7.
  • 8. Varicose veins are present in 25-33% of female and 10-20 % of male adults (Coon, 1973). The presentation of edema and cutaneous changes, such as stasis dermatitis and hyperpigmentation varies from 3.0% to 11% of the population (DaSilva, 1974). It has been estimated that venous stasis ulceration, occurs in 1% of the population with overall annual costs of CVD are 3 billion dollars in the US; Over 11 million men and 22 million women between the ages of 40 and 80 years have varicose veins
  • 9. 1. edema (first sign- soft or “pitting” relieved with rest or elevation; occurs just above the shoe-line; 2. venous dilation- ankle-flare sign is dilation of the small veins underneath the medial malleolus; 3. stasis(stagnation of venous blood) 4. leg pain- heaviness or ache; venous claudication (associated with DVT) Heaviness of the legs; muscle weakness and fatigue; restless leg symptoms 5. pruritis; 6. dermatitis, 7. hyperpigmentation- RBC death and brownish hemosiderin deposition Ulceration
  • 10.
  • 11. Superficial veins- lie on top of the deep fascia (unsupported in the saphenous compartment) can dilate for increased capacitance and contain valves even microscopic
  • 12.
  • 13. demonstrated even in post capillary venules (Caggiati, 2006); drain the skin and subcutaneous tissue; bicuspid
  • 14. the anterior accessory and posterior accessory saphenous veins; Vein of Giacomini– Inter-saphenous communicating vein connecting GSV to SSV
  • 15.
  • 16. Perforators- pass between the compartments from the superficial to deep; connecting superficial veins of the foot to the deep posterior tibial veins when these become incompetent the term “IPV” is used.
  • 17. Inferior Cockett 1 perforators are direct perforating veins located posterior to the medial malleolus. Middle Cockett 2 perforating veins about 7-10 cm on the lower medial leg, the most common site of ulceration Superior Cockett 3- medial perforators is located in the upper third of the calf, posterior to the tibia.
  • 18.
  • 19. encased in a tight muscle- fascial envelope; drain muscles and function in the calf-muscle pump; eg the soleal sinusoids
  • 20. relationship of the phasic muscle contraction of the calf muscles during gait and - eg. like cardiac ventricles; during contraction, the calf muscles compresses the blood contained within the venous sinuses and deep calf veins, thereby pumping the blood toward the heart. Valves in the perforators, close and prevent retrograde flow back into the superficial system.
  • 21.
  • 22.
  • 23. deep venous pressure and incompetence of valves within the perforators, net effect is retrograde flow of blood from the deep system; peripheral pooling backing up into the skin and subcutaneous tissue
  • 24. resulting in the following clinical manifestations (AKA venous hypertension); Pathologic = ≥3.5mm in size, outward flow >500 ms duration and located beneath
  • 25. an altered ratio between type I and III collagen and altered function of dermal fibroblasts. Skin biopsy in patients with VV demonstrates inflammation with activation of leukocytes, higher levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β-1), fibroblasts, and matrix metaloproteinases (MMPs) and lower levels of tissue inhibitors of metaloproteinases(TIMPs). It has been suggested that this MMP/TIMP imbalance may result in a degradation of elastin and collagen resulting in valve destruction (Michiels, 2002).
  • 26. 1. CEAP 2. VCSS(venous clinical Severity score) 3. VDS [venous disability score- includes quality of Life (QOL) issues]

  • 32. E in CEAP: Etiologic Congenital Primary Secondary Present since birth Undetermined • Post-thrombotic A in CEAP: Anatomic Distribution (where is the problem) Superficial Deep Perforator Great and small saphenous veins Cava, iliac, gonadal, femoral, profunda, popliteal, tibial Thigh and leg perforating veins
  • 33. P in CEAP: Pathophysiological Reflux Obstruction Combination Axial and perforating veins Acute and chronic Valvular dysfunction and thrombus
  • 34. In 2000 the American Venous Forum (AVF) developed the three-part Venous Severity Score: Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS), Venous Segmental Disease Score (VSDS), and Venous Disability Score (VDS) - a modification of the original CEAP disability score. It has been reported in literature to be "easy and useful both in research and in the daily practice."
  • 35. Four grades: 0= absent, 1= mild, 2= moderate, 3= severe (see appendix to this lecture) Pain Varicose Vein Venous Edema Pigmentation Inflammation Induration Active Ulcers Ulceration Duration Active Ulcer Size Compressive Therapy
  • 36.
  • 37. physical exam on weight bearing, Perthes test; Trendelenberg test Venous Ultrasound Examination- must obtain the following: ANNA Compression test Presence/absence reflux in the GSV dilation of the vein reflux time Presence/absence reflux in the SSV Presence of perforators Competence of deep venous
  • 38. 1. Venous Doppler 80-85% accurate; (B mode imaging); color flow imaging- Doppler  Venous Doppler: Using a handheld Doppler: augmented sound with compression  “ANNA” Compression Test with a hand-held Doppler on the posterior tibial veins; this is a easy test to determine venous reflux and venous outflow. The Doppler remains in place over the PT veins and go through the following maneuvers:
  • 39. 1. apply distal compression to the foot (apply continued pressure to the sole of the foot) the venous flow will be A- augmented sound (increased sound) on distal compression of the veins means there in increased venous flow passed the Doppler and no proximal obstruction such as DVT; this is normal N- no augmented sound (does not get louder) on distal compression means there in is no increased venous flow passed the Doppler possibly due to proximal obstruction; this is abnormal
  • 40. 2. Apply proximal compression (e.g. to the calve or thigh) the venous should be No augmentation of sound (i.e. no flow reversal with good valves) then release the compression and there should be Augmented sound (i.e. increased venous outflow due to the build up of venous pressure and release of the compression, if there is no prox obstruction such as DVT).
  • 41. Venous Doppler: Using a handheld Doppler: augmented sound with compression Watch this you tube link: https://youtu.be/pXvvbWaL9Ts
  • 42. goal: reduction of venous hypertension CBR; foot elevation; regular ambulation and exercise; decrease BMI; sleep in Trendelenberg position; resolve edema (compression wraps- eg. Ace or elastic) and stockings; Intermittent pneumatic compression pumps; treat ulceration (wet to dry dressings; antiseptic scrubs; oral antibiotic); Unna paste boot ”soft cast”;
  • 43. Recommends compression therapy for patients with CVI (Class C3-C6) Primary therapy to aid in healing venous ulcers Adjuvant therapy to superficial vein ablation to prevent ulcer recurrence. Contraindications to Compression therapy: Severe arterial insufficiency Cutaneous infections Hypodermatitis in the acute phase Wet dermatoses Non-ambulatory uses Diabetic microangiopathy Congestive heart failure
  • 44. Bandages may be inelastic and stiff such as the zinc impregnated Unna Boot or elastic stretch bandages. Numerous randomized controlled trials give evidence to support the use of Unna Boots demonstrating improved ulcer healing rates (McCulloch, 1994; Polignano 2004; Isabel, 2001).
  • 45.  Three and four layer elastic bandages such as Profore (global.smith-nephew.com) have proven more effective than inelastic bandages (Kumar, 2002; Davis, 2005).  Long stretch bandages extend by more than 100% of their original length, whereas short stretch, extend to less than 100% of their original length. Compression bandages should be applied with a graduated decreasing pressure gradient, with the highest pressure placed at the ankle and 70% decrease in counter-pressure at the knee.
  • 46. Patient Compliance Proper fitting Education and reinforcement Compressive Stockings in Patients with Varicose Veins Marked improvement after 16 months of therapy (70% compliance): Pain Swelling Skin pigmentation Activity Well-being
  • 47. Compression stockings- designed to provide strongest at the ankle and decreasing in the proximal direction Graduated compression hose or either OTC, Rx (for the or custom- made; May not be graduated compression e.g. TED anti- embolism stockings and simply are tight support hose 8- 15 mm of pressure Come in different lengths: BK; thigh high; panty hose; for pregnancy; for arm (post mastectomy) The pressure ranges are measured by determining the force that is necessary to stretch the ankle part of the stocking in transverse direction
  • 48. Compression Class Pressure (mmHg) 8-15 (light) over the counter; aka TED anti- embolism stockings Graduated Compression Rx I 15 – 20 (moderate) over –the-counter II 20 – 30 (firm) III 30 – 40 (extra firm) IV 40+ All can be dispensed in the office
  • 49. Basic Instructions for support stockings: Apply first thing in am prior to daily gravitational edema Wear all day especially on prolonged weight bearing or prolonged sedentary positions with legs in dependency Do not sleep with the stockings.
  • 50. Measure in the am before gravitation or stasis any edema exists. For knee-highs: measure around your ankle and calf. Then, measure the distance from the floor to the back of your knee. For thigh-high and pantyhose: measure around your ankle, calf, and upper thigh. Then, measure the distance from the floor to your upper thigh (bottom of your buttocks).
  • 51. Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices have been studied extensively for the management of lymphedema, CVI, and the prevention of DVT.
  • 52. the most effective consist of timed multi-cell sequentially inflated air- filled jackets in a sleeve, pulled over the entire lower extremity. The intermittent positive compression pumps designed to “milk” the interstitial compartment fluid back in the venous system and proximally up the leg.
  • 53. possibly added benefit of IPC is that it ha been shown to activate plasmin and increase endogenous fibrinolytoic activity(Clark, 1960).

  • 57. Indicated only on small veins, reticular veins and spider veins Must be sure there is no underlying venous hypertension or proximal venous congestion Thus, generally not a primary Tx; Potentially dangerous (allergenicity) may necessitate repeated injections; Mechanism of action: depends on producing an inflammatory response Endothelial inflammation, thrombosis, fibrosis and vein closure; External compression is then applied causing adherence and fibrosis of the endothelium of the vessel wall
  • 58. Sclerosants: 23% saline injection; “Sotradecol” STS (sodium tetradecyl-sulfate 1-3%) “Monolate” (monoethanolamine oleate); protonatesd glycerol “Polidocanol” (Varisolve) Technique: inject 0.5 ml. of the solution after a test dose into each varix and apply compression;

  • 67. This is a relatively conservative, relatively non- invasive, percutaneous procedure to thermally heat seal and close veins utilizing either a laser beam or radiofrequency heat source guided though a venous catheter. It is performed under a locally administered local anesthestic called Tumescent anesthesia.
  • 68.  The local anesthetic usually 1 % lidocaine with epinephrine is diluted with N Saline up to 200 cc and infiltrated subcutaneously injected along the course of the vein being treated, using ultrasound guidance. The anesthetic serves to provide pain relieve but also to absorb heat and prevent thermal necrosis of the tissues surrounding the vein.
  • 69. US guided percutaneous ablation of the SSV, GSV, accessory veins, IPVs via EVLT or RFA.
  • 70.
  • 71.  Indicated for:. refluxing superficial veins, perforators and communicators  Used either RF or lasers  Employs Tumescent anesthesia consisting of infiltration along the course of the saphenous system dilauted 1% lidocaine with epifor the purpose of a heat sink and anesthesia  Techniques: a percutaneous procedure under US guidance: IV catheter, guidewire, insertion of the heating devise 120 degrees for 20 seconds in 7 cm segments for the length of the saphenous system
  • 72. Post-Op care  Catheter removed  Compression dressing applies and elastic compression or support stockings for 48 hourss  May return tor work the same day.  No analgesia generally needed  Return in one week for follow-up US

  • 74. Watch these short videos; They provide an excellent overview of the procedure. https://youtu.be/JwWlLTzXtdo https://youtu.be/OjffO8J5Tgg
  • 75. #1. High ligation and venous stripping- for removal of the entire GSV or SSV; generally used for CVI and or VV
  • 76. This is a major invasive technique, generally performed under general anesthesia; Involves making one or more incisions upon the desired area (usually just distal to the femoral triangle). The perforator is ligated and cut and the remaining distal GSV is isolated and opened. A long steel wire with an triangular cone shaped acorn tip is then passed distally down the GSV. As it is passed distally, it can be felt through the skin. The wire is passed distal down the saphenous system to the level of the ankle where a second incision is made. At the distal incision, the vein is ligated around the acorn end.
  • 77. Under unltrasound guidance, many small incisions are made along the course of the saphenous vein to ligate all tributary communicating veins that drain into the saphenous. Then, through the proximal incision (up at the femoral triangle) the wire is pulled proximally, and the entire saphenous system retracted and removed from the body at the femoral triangle. All incisions are sutured, and pressure dressings are applied to the incision.
  • 78.
  • 79. Indicated for CVI due to failure of the valves of the perforating veins (IPV) resulting in venous stasis disease and ulceration (generally done at the level of the Cocketts 2 perforators) Generally performed under spinal or general anesthesia; Procedure: this is an endoscopic procedure, performed through a small proximal incision. A 2-3 cm linear incision is made below the knee a few cm above the perforators on the medial leg, centered over , along- side of the GSV.
  • 80. The incision is deepened through the skin and subcutaneous tissue to the deep fascia, which is underscored. An endoscope is passed deep to the GSV and fascia and tunneled distally, to the perforating veins between the GSV and the tibial veins. The veins are then clamped using multiple vascular clips. The endoscope with withdrawn and the wound is closed.
  • 81.  open surgical ligation of the Cocketts perforators
  • 82. One final procedure: Another office based procedure. ambulatory phlebectomy- generally performed under local anesthesia in an office; Indictions: performed to selective surgical excise small varices, that are often communicating veins, that remain after a Open surgical or RFA of a large saphenous vein. Procedure: minimally invasive small incisions (1 cm) made over the prominent varix; a hook is passed subcutaneously, to hook and withdraw the vein.
