“…In regards to size of venous dilation, there are no precise criteria to be considered as venous aneurysm; however, 3× the size of the normal vein, or 2× the size of the contiguous vein, is considered venous aneurysm (normal SFJ size is 3-5 mm, the thigh GSV is 2-4 mm and the ankle GSV is 1-3 mm). 1,6 In the presented case, our patient had a 60 mm diameter near SFJ, that 10 times exceeded the normal limits.…”

“…A recent study established an increased expression of metalloproteinase in the wall of a venous aneurysm, with their simultaneous decrease in the muscle layer, also increased fibrous tissue and inflammatory cells infiltration. 1 Pascarella et al 2 classified aneurysms of the saphenous systems into four types. Type I aneurysms (52%) are located in the proximal third of the saphenous vein, but not at SFJ.…”

“…Acute ascending varicose axial SVT was classified by Verrel et al 1 into four progressive stages, with a respective adapted treatment. Varicophlebitis without involvement of preterminal valve or deep veins was defined as stage I, while reach of the GSV and/or SSV's preterminal valve by the apex of the thrombus is already stage II and thrombus entering deep veins via pretermial valve is stage III.…”

“…Altogether, superficial vein aneurysms are approximately 60 published cases, with an incidence of 0.1% and prevalence of 1.5%. 1 Pascarella et al 2 showed that superficial venous aneurysms were detected in 43 of 366 patients during duplex scan, explaining their result due to insufficient ultrasound examination in patients with asymptomatic course. Physiopathology is related to reflux and venous hypertension, inflammatory processes, infections, trauma, congenital weakness of the venous wall and localized degenerative changes.…”

Introduction:Although saphenofemoral junction aneurysms are not so rare, only scarce of the published cases reported thrombosis of the aneurysmal sac and saphenous trunk.Presentation of case:A 65-year-old male with varicose disease, developed acute ascending superficial vein thrombosis of the left greater saphenous vein, involving the 6-cm saphenofemoral junction aneurysm. The patient underwent common femoral vein thrombectomy, aneurysm removal, and greater saphenous vein excision with uneventful postoperative course.Conclusion:Thrombosed giant saphenofemoral junction aneurysms require emergent surgical intervention aimed at preventing potential progression to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Vascular malformations, affecting ≈1% to 1.5% of the population, comprise a spectrum of developmental patterning defects of capillaries, arteries, veins, and/or lymphatics. The majority of vascular malformations occur sporadically; however, inherited malformations exist as a part of complex congenital diseases. The malformations, ranging from birthmarks to life-threatening conditions, are present at birth, but may reveal signs and symptoms—including pain, bleeding, disfigurement, and functional defects of vital organs—in infancy, childhood, or adulthood. Vascular malformations often exhibit recurrent patterns at affected sites due to the lack of curative treatments. This review series provides a state-of-the-art assessment of vascular malformation research at basic, clinical, genetic, and translational levels.

Background Assess the safety and effectiveness of indirect radiofrequency ablation (RFA, Closure FAST) for the treatment of incompetent great saphenous veins (GSVs) with type 1 aneurysms. Methods This was a retrospective analysis performed in three centers (2007–2021). All patients presenting with saphenous aneurysms close to the junction (within 2 cm) were included. They were treated with RFA. Phlebectomies and/or sclerotherapy were performed during the same treatment session. Duplex ultrasound (DUS) was performed early after the procedure and then, more than a year later. Results Eight patients (11 limbs) were included between June 2007 and May 2021 with a median diameter of the GSV aneurysm 21 mm (IQR 17.2–23.4). No severe adverse events occurred apart from one endovenous heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT) class III (9.1%). After more than a year (mean 7.2 ± 4.2, median 8 years), none of the aneurysms was present on DUS and the truncal obliteration rate was 100%. Conclusion RFA appears to be a safe and effective treatment for patients presenting with incompetent saphenous veins with the type 1 aneurysm.
