Abstract:
Introduction and objective: Varicose veins in the lower extremities are a clinical manifestation of chronic venous disease. The condition is highly prevalent, with incidence increasing with age. Varicose veins are often accompanied by pain, and neglecting treatment can lead to complications such as superficial vein inflammation, deep vein thrombosis, and, most critically, pulmonary embolism. The primary aim of this study was to analyze and compare the efficacy and safety of available contemporary invasive methods for treating varicose veins in the lower extremities. Additionally, this paper addresses the epidemiology, etiology, and clinical presentation of chronic venous insufficiency. Review methods: The literature review utilized databases covering sources from PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Scopus. Keywords included: ‘varicose veins of the lower limbs’; ‘spider veins’; ‘EVLT (endovenous laser treatment of the small saphenous vein and great saphenous vein)’; ‘sclerotherapy’; ‘diode laser’; ‘varicose vein surgeries of the lower limbs’. Brief description of the state of knowledge: Numerous methods for treating lower limb varicose veins are available. Among all treatment options, minimally invasive procedures using laser technology, steam, or radiofrequency waves are the most common. These procedures have been successfully performed for many years, with an estimated effectiveness of approximately 90% over a five-year observation period. Summary: Despite the high prevalence and complex pathophysiological mechanisms of varicose veins in the lower extremities, current treatment methods allow for a satisfactory therapeutic outcome in most patients.

Abstract:
Objective: To determine the number and function of valves and the location of perforators and tributaries in patients with varicose veins as a result of saphenofemoral or saphenopopliteal reflux. Design: Prospective endovascular evaluation of greater and lesser saphenous veins during varicose vein surgery. Setting: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA. Patients: Thirty-one limbs in 25 patients undergoing varicose vein surgery. Intervention: Patients underwent retrograde passage of a 2.3 mm angioscope from the junction of the saphenous and deep vein distally to the first competent valve. Main outcome measures: Based on intraoperative findings, the greater saphenous vein was preserved in eight out of 25 cases. Preoperative assessment of lesser saphenous reflux was incorrect in three out of six cases. Results: An incompetent subterminal valve was found in 16 out of 25 greater saphenous veins. In 13 out of 25 limbs, no other valves were seen to the knee. Four patients had competent thigh valves. Conclusions: Retrograde venoscopy may be of benefit in varicose vein surgery.

Abstract:
Objectives To report on a male cohort with pelvic vein reflux and associated primary and recurrent lower limb varicose veins. Methods Full lower limb duplex ultrasonography revealed significant pelvic contribution in eight males presenting with bilateral lower limb varicose veins. Testicular and internal iliac veins were examined with either one or a combination of computed tomography, magnetic resonance venography, testicular, transabdominal or transrectal duplex ultrasonography. Subsequently, all patients received pelvic vein embolisation, prior to leg varicose vein treatment. Results Pelvic vein reflux was found in 23 of the 32 truncal pelvic veins and these were treated by pelvic vein embolisation. Four patients have since completed their leg varicose vein treatment and four are undergoing leg varicose vein treatments currently. Conclusion Pelvic vein reflux contributes towards lower limb venous insufficiency in some males with leg varicose veins. Despite the challenges, we suggest that pelvic vein reflux should probably be investigated and pelvic vein embolisation considered in such patients.

Abstract:
Varicose vein is one of the common vascular abnormalities in the world. Patients with varicose veins are at high risk for developing deep vein thrombosis. Various physiotherapy modalities such as muscle stimulator, pneumatic compression, ultrasonic, TENS can help in the management of pain and Improves quality of life in these patients. Various studies have supported that neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) could improve pain and quality of life (QOL) in patients with varicose vein. Purpose of this review is to know about the role of NMES in the management of varicose vein. Several studies showed that NMES helps in decreasing pain and improves QOL in patients with varicose vein. Till date there is no definitive protocol for NMES as treatment modality in varicose vein patients. In order to establish a definitive protocol in varicose vein, further research needs to be conducted. Keywords: Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), TENS, varicose vein

Abstract:
Varicose vein is clinical class of the (CVD) i.e. chronic venous disease, also called as the varicosities. Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen and twisting veins often appearing blue or dark purple. When valves in the veins do not work properly, the blood does not flow effectively. The expansion of varicose veins is often caused by a weakening of valves and walls. Generally varicose vein is found in females especially in case of pregnancy. Varicose veins generally found in lower extremity, leg and the epididymis. Epididymis is the highly convoluted duct behind the testis along which sperm passes to the vas deferens. A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the loose bag of skin that holds your testicles or scrotum. A varicocele is similar to a varicose vein you might see in your leg. Varicoceles are a common cause of low sperm production and decreased sperm quality, which can cause infertility. The aim of writing this review is to provide information about the varicose vein and varicocele the remedy to be used in its treatment and different tests available for its diagnosis.

Abstract:
Objective Quality improvement in surgery has mainly been based on clinical database outcomes. This study compared variables from the patient-reported Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire with the Danish Clinical Vein Database, in order to reveal agreements and differences in symptoms and clinical findings. Methods In the period January–March 2011, 379 legs in 287 patients treated for varicose veins were registered in the Danish Clinical Vein Database and compared to the Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire. Results Patients and physicians agreed in reduction of symptoms after intervention with one or more complaints still present in 128 (93%) patients according to Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire compared to the Danish Clinical Vein Database with only 64 (47%) patients. Patients reported cosmetic complaints and teleangiectasies both before and after treatment (p < 0.001) more often than doctors. Conclusion The Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire has added valuable information to the dialogue between the doctor and patient on which symptoms expecting to improve and which not.

Abstract:
Abstract The purpose of the present research was (I-II) to evaluate the effects of clinical, hand-held Doppler (HHD) and duplex ultrasonographic examinations on the planning of operative procedure for primary varicose veins, (III) to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of endovenous saphenous vein obliteration with radiofrequency-resistive heating and (IV) to compare endovenous saphenous vein obliteration with conventional stripping operation in terms of short-term recovery and costs. Sixty-two legs (in 49 consecutive patients) and 142 legs (in 111 consecutive patients) with primary uncomplicated varicose veins were examined clinically and with HHD and duplex ultrasonography for planning the subsequent treatment. At the saphenous-femoral junction (SFJ) and at the saphenous-popliteal junction (SPJ), sensitivity was 56-64% and 23%, specificity 93-97% and 96%, positive predictive value 97-98% and 43% and negative predictive value 44-45% and 91%, respectively. In 9% of the cases, the treatment plan was modified on the basis of the duplex ultrasound findings. The present study showed that, in primary uncomplicated varicose veins, the accuracy of HHD is unsatisfactory. Thirty legs of 27 patients with varicose veins were treated using an endovenous catheter (Closure® System, VNUS Medical Technologies, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA), which was inserted under ultrasound guidance via a percutaneous puncture or a skin incision. The persistence of vein occlusion and complications potentially attributable to the endovenous treatment were assessed at 1-week, 6-week, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year follow-up visits. By the time of the last follow-up visit, occlusion of the treated segment of the LSV had been achieved in 22 (73.3%) legs. Persisting patency or recanalization of LSV was detected in 8 legs (26.7%). Postoperative complications included saphenous nerve paresthesia in 3 legs (10%) and thermal skin injury in one limb (3.3%). Twenty-eight selected patients admitted for operative treatment of varicose veins in the tributaries of the primary long saphenous were randomly assigned to endovenous obliteration (n = 15) or stripping operation (n = 13). The patients were followed up for 7-8 weeks postoperatively and examined by duplex ultrasonography. The comparison of costs included both direct medical costs and costs due to lost of productivity. All operations were successful, and the complication rates were similar in the two groups. The sick leaves were significantly shorter in the endovenous obliteration group [6.5 (SD 3.3) vs. 15.6 (SD 6.0), 95 % CI 5.4 to 12.9, p < 0.001, t-test]. When the value of the lost working days was included, the endovenous obliteration was societally cost-saving.

Abstract:
Introduction: Venous insufficiency and consequent varicose veins are common problems faced by many patients. Fortunately, there are many treatment options available including a minimally invasive method known as radiofrequency ablation (RFA). RFA is not without complications; amongst those are endovascular heat induced thrombosis (EHIT). This rare complication is typically managed conservatively; however, in rare occasions, the thrombus can detach and embolize causing further issues for patients. Case Description: A 48-year-old male underwent an uneventful RFA procedure for a CEAP 4a venous insufficiency. On the post-operative ultrasound venous duplex evaluation, the patient was found to have EHIT type 2 in the right greater saphenous vein extending to the sapheno-femoral junction. During compression and release of the ultrasound probe by the ultrasound technician, the thrombus detached from the venous wall and embolized to a right lung subsegmental branch. Discussion: This case report focuses on the possibility of secondary sequela that may arise from EHIT affecting other organ systems from the RFA procedure, the classification system of EHIT, and management options.

Abstract:
Uses of epidemiology. Venous thromboembolism continues to be an important cause of death and disability in Western Countries. Its epidemiology may provide clues to etiology, e.g. the increased incidence in oral contraceptive users, and the low prevalence at autopsy in Central Africa or Japan compared to the U.S.A. A second use is the monitoring of time-trends: the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism increased during the 1970s, although the case fatality decreased. A third use is the identification and quantification of risk factors: these could be modified in the hope of prevention, or else used to select high risk groups for selective prophylaxis, e.g. during acute illness. Prevention is the only feasible approach to reducing the burden of venous thromboembolism, since most cases are not diagnosed, and since the value of current treatment is debatable.Case definition. Presents problems: clinical diagnosis is unreliable, and should if possible be supported by objective methods. Autopsy studies are performed on selected populations, at a decreasing rate; the frequency of thromboembolism depends on technique; and pathologists cannot be blinded and are open to bias. It can also be difficult to judge whether a patient dying with pulmonary embolism died from pulmonary embolism. 125I-fibrinogen scans indicate minimal disease, and now present ethical problems in screening due to risks of viral transmission. Venography is invasive and is not readily repeatable, which limits its use as a screening method. Plethysmography merits wider evaluation, since it is non-invasive, and sensitive to major thrombosis.Community epidemiology. Data on the community epidemiology are limited. The risk increases with age. When age is taken into account, there is little sex difference. Overweight in women, use of oral contraceptives and blood group A increase the risk: smoking, varicose veins, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose do not, on current evidence. Long-term follow-up of patients with proven thromboembolism shows an increased risk of malignancy, hence occult cancer may also be a risk factor. Polycythaemia and certain congenital deficiencies (e.g. antithrombin III) are also well-recognised risk factors, although uncommon.Hospital epidemiology. Data on hospital epidemiology are derived largely from autopsy prevalence, and from short-term incidence of minimal thrombosis detected by 125I—fibrinogen scanning. Old, immobile and traumatised patients are most at risk. Previous thromboembolism, polycythaemia, antithrombin III deficiency, hip and leg fractures, elective hip and leg surgery, hemiplegia, paraplegia, and heart failure carry high risks, and merit consideration for routine prophylaxis. The risk in elective surgery precedes the operation, and increases with age, overweight, malignancy, varicose veins, non-smoking, and operative factors (duration, approach, general anaesthesia, intravenous fluids). Diabetics appear to have no extra risk. Combinations of clinical variables can be used to predict high risk groups for selective prophylaxis, but combination indices require further study. Laboratory variables may increase the predictability of deep vein thrombosis, but the results of published studies are conflicting, and the cost-effectiveness of laboratory prediction should be evaluated.
