“…In 1985 Bartolo et al published a study of 8,742 lower limbs (LLs) affected with various venous disease which were compared with normal limbs. The emerged data were of a high statistical significance [4].…”

“…The VPI values were detected by Doppler method (Dop 2000; Cardioline Milano, Italy ® ) in standing position and after 10 tip-toeing exercises (ambulatory VPI) and the differential values were calculated in three venous districts: GSV, SSV and PTV [3,4].…”

“…The patient is placed in standing position, and the cuff is inflated up to 120 mm Hg. The following description of the method belongs to the original papers from Bartolo et al [3,4]. "Deflating the cuff we can hear at a certain point a blowing noise.…”

“…The start of their noise indicates the venous pressure and it is the point where the venous flow re-appears being the pressure higher than the ex- isting one in the cuff, as it occurs when measuring the arterial pressure". The same measurement is performed three times during the diagnostic session in order to verify the reproducibility of the values [4]. Now the patient is asked to perform 10 tip-toe movements by lifting the body on the forward feet, one every second.…”

Background: The diagnostic evaluation of chronic venous disease (CVD) of the lower limbs (LLs) is mainly based on duplex ultrasound (DUS). Invasive venous pressure measurements (VPMs) are seldom performed in specialized centers with still controversial results. The noninvasive Doppler method has not been accepted as a validate method as the emerging values are influenced by several environmental and biological factors, and do not correspond to hydrostatic pressure. Therefore, these values will be defined as venous pressure index (VPI). In our previous experience, the VPI was accepted by patients in the daily practice, and the VPI was significantly correlated with C of C.E.A.P. (P < 0.05 -0.0001) and furnished useful hemodynamic information. This study was to verify the role and clinical implications of the VPI measurements in the pathophysiology and diagnostics of superficial CVD of the LL.

“…Venous pressure can be easily measured non-invasively using the Bartolo's method [10][11][12] , using a pressure cuff and detecting the level of venous pressure when a wind-like noise appears. According In the latter instead, the vascular bed extends towards non-conducting superficial veins, which are generally of inadequate caliber.…”

The Authors report an overview on the modern surgical treatment of peripheral lymphoedema. The aim of lymphatic microsurgical operations is to drain the lymph either toward the venous circulation (lympho-venous shunts) or the lymphatic collectors above the obstacle to the lymph flow, with the interposition of lymphatic or venous grafts (lymphatic-venous-lymphatic plasty). Selection of candidate patients for lymphatic microsurgery is based on an adequate diagnostic investigation, which includes above all lymphoscintigraphy, conventional oil contrast lymphangiography, Doppler venous flowmetry and manometry, and, if necessary (angiodysplasias), an accurate study also of the artery circulation. The clinical outcome of lymphatic microsurgery, assessed by water volumetry and lymphangioscintigraphy, performed at variable distance of time from operations till over 5 years after surgery, shows a significant reduction of edema volume and improvement of lymph flow in all patients and that the more precocious the microsurgical treatment the better the results.
