Terminologia Anatomica

The correct and precise nomenclature of the veins of the lower extremity is a necessary tool for communication. Three important changes have been done over the last 13 years. Terminologia Anatomica, the latest version of the Latin anatomical nomenclature, was published in 1998, extended in the area of the lower extremity veins with two consensus documents, in 2001, during the 14th World Congress of the International Union of Phlebology and in 2004 during the 21st World Congress of the International Union of Angiology. This article is a free continuation of two previous articles, reviewing the detailed anatomy and correct nomenclature of the superficial veins of the lower extremities and veins of pelvis. Now, it is concentrated on the deep venous system, in which 15 new terms have been added in both Latin and English languages.

The aim: With the help of biochemical and morphological methods of investigation to identify the causes of a false postoperative recurrence of varicose veins after the EVLC. Materials and methods: In 173 patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities, the level of markers of endothelial dysfunction was determined: P-selectin, E-selectin, tissue plasminogen activator, endothelin-1, adhesion molecules of type 1 vascular endothelium (sVCAM-1-soluble vascularcellularmolecula), circulating endothelial cells (CEC) before surgery (EVLC), on the 10th and 60th day of the postoperative period.At the same time, a morphological and electron microscopic examination of the state of the deep venous system in 31 patients with varicose vein disease of the lower extremities who died from acute heart failure, was performed. Results: Increased values of markers of endothelial dysfunction in patients with varicose veins of the lower extremitiesbefore surgery of EVLC were established. We found that, despite the operation, the parameters of endothelial dysfunction decrease, but in the remote postoperative period do not come to the norm. Morphological and electron microscopic studies of the deep vein wall revealed pathomorphological changes in all of their layers, especially the endothelial layer. At the heart of the development of endothelial dysfunction in the postoperative period, the leading role belongs to changes in mitochondria. Conclusions: 1. Based on our research, we can state that there are significant pathomorphological and pathophysiological changes in the deep venous system of the lower extremities in conditions of varicose vein disease. 2. The initiator of postoperative relapse of varicose veins are structural changes in the wall of deep veins with a violation of the integrity of the endothelial lining, contributing to the absorption of plasma and leukocyte contents from the blood stream in the interstitium, with the following pathological changes in the layers of deep veins.Such changes are the basis for the manifestations of endothelial dysfunction in the postoperative period.

Sonography has become the gold standard in the diagnosis of pathological changes in venous insufficiency, however, studies by other scientists indicate the need for a comprehensive study using phlebographic methods. The aim of the work was to compare the results of sonography and multislice tomography in the diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency complicated by trophic ulcers. Materials and methods. The results of treatment of 97 patients with chronic venous insufficiency in stage C6 and C6r were evaluated. Ultrasound angioscanning of the venous system of the lower extremities at the planning stage of surgical treatment and in the postoperative period (early and after a year of observation) was performed on a digital device of expert class for cardiovascular studies (Toshiba Aplio 500) with 5-10 MHz sensor and appropriate standard software package examination of the venous system of the lower extremities. Multislice computed tomography was performed using X-ray computed tomography (Philips Brilliance 64). The study was performed using X-ray contrast iodine-containing medium (Omnipack-350) at the rate of 1 ml of the drug per kilogram of patient weight. Research results and their discussion. the sonographic study found that the causes of trophic ulcers were impaired venous blood flow in the veins of the lower extremities due to severe varicose transformation and decompensated reflux, and changes in the deep venous system due to thrombosis of the deep veins. Greater sensitivity and specificity of multislice computed tomography in the diagnosis of postthrombotic stenoses and obliterations were found compared with sonographic examination. This method is valuable in the study of the anatomy of the venous system, but does not allow to assess the parameters of hemodynamics (duration and degree of reflux, but only its presence).

We present a case of a novel restrictive cerebral venopathy in a child, consisting of a bilateral network of small to medium cortical veins without evidence of arteriovenous shunting, absence of the deep venous system, venous ischemia, elevated intracranial pressure, and intracranial calcifications. The condition is unlike other diseases characterized by networks of small veins, including cerebral proliferative angiopathy, Sturge-Weber syndrome, or developmental venous anomaly. While this case may be the result of an anatomic variation leading to the congenital absence of or early occlusion of the deep venous system, the insidious nature over many years argues against this. The absence of large cortical veins suggests a congenital abnormality of the venous structure. The child’s presentation with a seizure-like event followed by protracted hemiparesis is consistent with venous ischemia. We propose that this is likely to represent a new clinicopathological entity.
