Primary Superficial Vein Reflux with Competent Saphenous Trunk

Abstract: these data indicate that reflux confined to superficial tributaries is found throughout the lower limb. Because this reflux is present without greater and lesser saphenous trunk, perforator and deep-vein incompetence or proximal obstruction, it shows that reflux can develop in any vein without an apparent feeding source. Greater saphenous tributaries are affected significantly more often than those of lesser saphenous, while non-saphenous reflux is uncommon. Most limbs have signs and symptoms of CVD class 2 an… Show more

“…33 In addition, reflux may also occur in venous tributaries in the absence of any truncal superficial or deep vein or perforator vein reflux. 34 The most common tributaries with reflux are in communication with the GSV (≈60%), small saphenous vein (≈20%), or both (≈10%). This process of isolated tributary reflux may contribute to progression of disease within the other superficial or deep venous segments.…”

“…En nuestro trabajo observamos refl ujo en el segmento de la VSA en un 11,4 %. Dos estudios publicados cifran su frecuencia en 3,5 % y 8,8 %, respectivamente 30,31 . Insistimos en que desde nuestro punto de vista, el segmento venoso refl uyente es un conducto que une ambos polos de gradiente y, por lo tanto, lo primordial es la identifi cación de ambos puntos (punto de fuga y punto de reentrada), especialmente del punto de fuga, que describiremos como origen de la variz.…”

“…El caso típico correspondería a las venas tributarias (R3 o R4) de la VSI, VSA o VSE, sin insufi ciencia troncal o variz aislada proveniente de refl ujos pélvicos o epigástricos. Labropoulos et al 31 presentaron una prevalencia del refl ujo en las venas tributarias de la VSI del 9,7 %, y se apoyaban en este hecho para afi rmar que el refl ujo aislado de una vena tributaria sin evidencia de refl ujo en el cayado o de la VSI troncal supone que el refl ujo puede ocurrir en un segmento aislado o ser multifocal sin comunicación entre ellos (teoría de los cambios locales de la pared venosa).…”

“…Generally speaking, all varicose veins located on the thigh or on the internal leg are not necessarily due to great saphenous vein insufficiency, nor are all varicose veins with a postero-external leg location necessarily due to small saphenous vein insufficiency. Based on studies on series from noninvasive vascular laboratories, the rate of nonsaphenous vein reflux is 10% to 40% of all varicose vein syndromes [11,12].…”
