Summary
In this thesis study investigation done to find a possible correlation of GSV diameters measured at the sapheno-femoral junction, the proximal thigh, the distal thigh, below the knee, in the mid leg and there relation to the reflux.
Started by a brief review of anatomy of veins of lower limb and the most common variations that may help in successful treatment.
Also, study discussed the pathophysiology and etiology of varicose veins.
This study involved 100 limbs from outpatient vascular clinic which presented with varicose vein.
Assessment: history taking involved previous DVT, surgery, any co-morbidity, clinical examination general and local including CEAP classification, Duplex u/s
Anatomical and functional survey of GSV was carried by Toshiba Aplio 400 series machine
The study evaluated GSV diameter measurement at the sapheno-femoral junction (SFJ), at the proximal thigh, at the distal thigh, below the knee, mid leg in correlation to reflux
Patients were classified into 5 groups:
group I
SFJ reflux
group II
proximal Thigh GSV reflux
group III
distal thigh and Above knee GSV reflux
group IV
below knee GSV reflux
group V
mid leg GSV reflux
