Superficial Venous Insufficiency

This review presents the common diseases associated with superficial venous insufficiency of the leg. These include varicose veins, swelling, skin damage and ulceration. The benefits and rationale behind treatment are discussed, followed by the historical advances from ancient mortality and prayer to the modern endovenous revolution. Finally, an overview of modern treatment options will discuss the evidence supporting the gold standard of endothermal ablation and the cost effectiveness of treatment at this time of challenging resource limitation.

Superficial Venous Insufficiency

Superficial venous insufficiency (SVI) is an extremely common condition affecting up to 39% of Americans, which results in significant patient morbidity and high healthcare costs (up to $3 billion per year for treatment). In addition to patients with asymptomatic spider veins and painful varicose veins, over 2 million adults have advanced chronic venous disease (CVD), and at least 20,000 individuals develop new venous ulcers each year. Patients suffering from venous insufficiency can benefit greatly from office-based, minimally invasive treatments. Successful treatment depends on understanding of superficial venous anatomy and pathophysiology, how to conduct a targeted history and physical exam, and performance and interpretation of Duplex ultrasound (DUS), as well as knowledge and application of the available treatment options.

Superficial Venous Insufficiency

Lower limb chronic venous insufficiency is a commonly seen disease which accounted for 40.5% of people over the age of 50 years old with females having 4.25 higher prevalence compared with males [23]. The lesions could be observed in superficial, perforating, deep veins or all three venous systems in the lower extremities [2]. Superficial veins in particular could be classified in 3 groups: chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, and thrombophlebitis. The treatment options of lower limb chronic venous insufficiency in general and chronic venous insufficiency – varicose veins are grouped in two major categories: medication/intervention and surgery. Since 1980s-1990s, endovascular interventions for the treatment of superficial venous insufficiency – varicose veins were introduced and were the new advancement in the treatment of lower limb venous insufficiency disorders [3, 7, 11, 12, 16] .

Endoleaks are the most common complications following endovascular aneurysm repair. Depending upon their origin, there are five types of endoleaks, types I-V, which can also be classified as direct and indirect endoleaks. Direct endoleaks type 1 and III have higher risk of aneurysm rupture due to rapid sac expansion, and require immediate correction.  Indirect endoleaks types II, IV and V have a relatively benign course compared to direct endoleaks. Most of them resolve with time and very few of them need interventions upon sac enlargement. Type V endotension is a special situation where there is sac enlargement despite no demonstrable endoleak. Proper planning and appropriate selection of stent-graft can prevent most of these endoleaks. With improvement in stent-graft technology, the incidence of endoleaks has been reduced. The current narrative review was planned to describe the pathophysiology, risk factors and treatment options for each type of endoleak. Continuous...
