Vein Reflux

Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are differences between predominantly Caucasians and Asians from two disparate cohorts around the globe, with regard to their pre-operative venous reflux patterns and truncal vein characteristics, which could potentially help clinicians tailor venous treatment for chronic venous insufficiency on a more individualised basis in different parts of the world. Methods A total of 200 lower limb chronic venous insufficiency duplex studies (127 Singaporean (predominantly Asian) patients) and 200 lower limb chronic venous insufficiency duplex scans (137 Americans predominantly Caucasians) were analysed and compared for differences in venous anatomy and reflux characteristics. Results Asian patients from Singapore presented with higher CEAP scores compared to the predominantly Caucasian cohort from the US (30% CEAP 4a or greater vs. 17.5%; p < 0.01). Singaporeans had more great saphenous vein reflux starting at the sapheno-femoral junction (86% vs. 73%; p < 0.01) and ending at the ankle (93% vs. 46%; p < 0.01). Vein diameters were generally larger in the US cohort of patients (median 5.7 mm vs. 2.9 mm; p < 0.01). Conclusions The predominantly Asian cohort from Singapore had smaller diameter truncal veins, longer segments of truncal vein reflux and present later with more advanced chronic venous insufficiency compared to their American counterparts. This information could help tailor endovenous ablation on a more individualised basis in the future.

Introduction The optimal compression regime following ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for varicose veins is not known. The aim of this study was to document current practice. Methods Postal questionnaire sent to 348 consultant members of the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland. Results Valid replies were received from 41% ( n = 141) surgeons representing at least 68 (61%) vascular units. UGFS was used by 74% surgeons, RFA by 70% and EVLA by 32%, but fewer patients received UGFS (median 30) annually, than endothermal treatment (median 50) – P = 0.019. All surgeons prescribed compression: following UGFS for median seven days (range two days to three months) and after endothermal ablation for 10 days (range two days to six weeks) – P = 0.298. Seven different combinations of bandages, pads and compression stockings were reported following UGFS and four after endothermal ablation. Some surgeons advised changing from bandages to stockings from five days (range 1–14) after UGFS. Following endothermal ablation, 71% used bandages only, followed by compression stockings after two days (range 1–14). The majority of surgeons (87%) also treated varicose tributaries: 65% used phlebectomy, the majority (65%) synchronously with endothermal ablation. Concordance of compression regimes between surgeons within vascular units was uncommon. Only seven units using UGFS and six units using endothermal ablation had consistent compression regimes. Conclusion Compression regimes after treatments for varicose veins vary significantly: more evidence is needed to guide practice.
