“…Failure to adequately monitor valve function after surgery might lead to misinterpretation of clinical results. If the function of the corrected valve is unknown or not reported, [1][2][3][4]15 it is difficult to distinguish those cases of clinical aggravation that are due to recurrence of valve insufficiency from those that are due to other factors that develop despite the absence of SFV reflux.…”

[1][2][3][4] When correction of deep venous reflux was not performed, superficial venous stripping and perforator vein interruption were not as successful as when deep reflux was not present. 5 If improvement of abnormal venous hemodynamics can be achieved by surgical reconstruction of a single valve in the deep venous system, 6,15 then this procedure may be done in earlier stages to prevent the disease from progressing.…”

In patients with chronic venous insufficiency, two types of clinical dynamics, stable and progressive, can be identified. The progressive type is associated with the presence of superficial femoral vein reflux and increasing greater saphenous vein reflux. Superficial vein surgery neither corrects superficial femoral vein reflux nor prevents it from progressing further. Correction of a single superficial femoral vein valve during primary intervention significantly improves the long-term results of superficial venous surgery. This improvement is associated with the prevention of reflux progression. Surgical correction of the incompetent superficial femoral vein valve changes the course of primary chronic venous insufficiency.
