“…It has been particularly critical in defining the anatomy of the lesser saphenous vein. 16,22,23 These findings correspond to previous cadaveric and phlebographic studies. Unusual veins such as the popliteal-profunda vein, persistent sciatic vein, the vein of the sciatic nerve, the vein of the popliteal fossa, and others have all been well documented through the use of duplex scanning.…”

The Impact of Duplex Scanning in Phlebology

Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a tremendous medical and economic burden on society. In the past two decades the use of duplex ultrasound has emerged as the diagnostic method of choice for the diagnosis and management of CVD. In this article, we describe the specific techniques used in the assessment of the superficial, perforating, and deep venous systems. We also discuss the methods of ulcer bed and chronic obstruction evaluation. The contributions of the duplex ultrasound to the understanding of the pathophysiology and improvement of treatments for chronic venous disease are reviewed.

ObjectiveWe wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of endovenous ablation of the incompetent vein of Giacomini using a 980-nm diode laser.Materials and MethodsA total of 18 patients (18 limbs, 4%) had the incompetent vein of Giacomini. Retrograde reflux originating from the great saphenous vein was noted in sixteen limbs and paradoxical diastolic anterograde reflux from the saphenopopliteal junction was observed in two limbs. After tumescent anesthesia, laser ablation using a 980-nm wavelength laser fiber was performed under ultrasound and/or fluoroscopic guidance. Patients were evaluated clinically and with duplex ultrasound at one week and at one, three, six and twelve months after laser ablation for the technical and clinical success.ResultsIn the 18 limbs, the technical success rate was 100%. Continued closure of the vein of Giacomini was seen in 18 of 18 limbs after one month, in 12 of 12 limbs after three and six months and in six of six limbs after twelve months. No recanalization of the vein and no major complications occurred.ConclusionEndovenous laser ablation with a 980-nm wavelength is an effective and safe procedure for treating an incompetent vein of Giacomini.

Extensão cranial da veia safena parva: quando o fluxo caudal é normal

et al. 2009

IntroduçãoO estudo por ultrassonografia com Doppler representa importante ferramenta diagnóstica de patologias vasculares, particularmente em relação às veias dos membros inferiores. Dentre os diversos segmentos venosos, a extensão cranial da veia safena parva se destaca pelas inúmeras variações anatômicas e diferentes padrões de fluxo que podem ser observados, sendo o correto conhecimento de sua anatomia e fisiologia fundamental para um diagnóstico adequado.O objetivo deste estudo é salientar que, dentre as possíveis variações anatômicas descritas, uma em particular apresenta fluxo com sentido caudal, aspecto que pode ser bem caracterizado ao estudo de ultrassonografia com Doppler. HistóricoO primeiro anatomista a descrever uma extensão cranial da veia safena parva foi Josef Hyrtl em 1864, quando introduziu o termo "veia fêmoro-poplítea" para uma veia superficial da face posterior da coxa, termo esse incluído em 1936 em um dos consensos de terminologia anatômica da época, a Jenaer Nomina Anatomica, sendo depois substituído na nomenclatura oficial nas edições da Nomina Anatomica por "veia subcutânea femoral posterior" e mais tarde por "veia marginal medial" 1,2 .Dentre os anatomistas do século XIX, Carlo Giacomini destacou-se com seu trabalho realizado em 1873 3 , quando descreveu novos tipos de terminação da safena parva, sua relação com as fáscias da coxa, demonstrando que se tratava da própria safena estendendo-se no segmen- ARTIGO DE REVISÃO ResumoA extensão cranial da veia safena parva se destaca pelas inúmeras variações anatômicas e diferentes padrões de fluxo que podem ser observados, descritos em trabalhos envolvendo dissecções pós-morte ou cirúr-gicas, flebografias e Doppler, que denotam a formação embriológica mais precoce e complexa em relação à safena magna. A observação de um tipo específico de extensão cranial da safena parva onde o sentido das valvas é contrário ao habitualmente observado foi primeiramente caracterizada por Carlo Giacomini, sendo o fluxo caudal nesses casos de aspecto normal sem sinal de incompetência valvar. Este artigo demonstra os padrões anatômicos e de fluxo que podem ser caracterizados na veia safena parva, contribuindo para que aspectos normais do seu fluxo não sejam confundidos com incompetência valvar.Palavras-chave: Veia, Doppler, refluxo. AbstractCranial extension of the small saphenous vein is of special interest due to the number of anatomical variations and different blood flow patterns observed, which have been described in investigations including postmortem or surgical dissections, phlebographies, and Doppler studies, indicating an earlier and more complex embryological development in relation to the great saphenous vein. A specific type of cranial extension of the small saphenous vein, where a reverse flow is often observed in the valves, was first characterized by Carlo Giacomini. In these veins, caudal flow is normal, with no evidence of valvular incompetence. This article describes anatomical and blood flow patterns found in the small saphenous vein, thus con...
