“…Muneta et al [2] reported that they per- formed ligation of micro-AVFs, which improved erythema and tenderness of the lower leg. Tanaka et al [3] and Serizawa et al [4] reported that micro-AVFs were detected in 13% of patients who visited their department with edema and skin lesions of the lower limbs, and that patients' symptoms improved following ligation treatment of incompetent perforator veins with arterial pulsatile waveforms on ultrasonography. The micro-AVFs were so thin that they might have been difficult to identify during surgery.…”

“…It has been reported that CTA was useful as a screening tool for micro-AVFs [3][4][5]. Since micro-AVFs have small calibers, it is difficult to accurately determine their presence via ultrasonography or arteriography.…”

“…On the other hand, ultrasonography is helpful for the diagnosis of mAVF due to its simplicity, high resolution, and minimally invasive nature. 4 The diagnostic accuracy may depend on the operator's technique and is potentially why inconclusive results were obtained in our first procedure. 5 Nine cases (aged 52-84 years; two men, seven women) of mAVF-induced cutaneous symptoms are summarized in Table S1.…”
