Varicose vein is a very common condition in surgical practice in which vein become dilated, elongated and tortuous. The changing lifestyle, occupational pattern, pregnancy, obesity are noteworthy contributing factors for the varicose veins. This condition affects lower limbs especially saphenous vein and their tributaries. In Ayurveda varicose veins can be correlated to Siraja granthi. In Siraja granthi vitiated Vata dosha enters in sira and constrict them, make them tortuous. Also decreases pulsation in the sira. In this article we have tried to evaluate the anatomical and physiological changes in Siraja granthi (Varicose veins).

Objective: An evaluation of the proteoglycan perlecan, collagen I and III, and metalloproteinases MMP−1, −2, −3 and −9 was performed to explore the possible relationships between ageing, affected vein region and reactive state of the varicose vein wall. Methods: Segments of saphenous vein were obtained from healthy subjects and from those with varicose veins. The vein specimens were subdivided according to subject age (<50/^50) and vein source (distal/proximal). Results: The walls of control vein specimens acquired a more collagenous appearance with age. These changes were not accompanied by significant modifications in the immunohistochemical markers used. In specimens from young patients, proximal varicose vein segments showed an increase in MMP-1, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression. Subjects of more advanced age showed an increase in perlecan expression. Conclusion: This increase in MMPs could lead to the acceleration of the final fibrosclerotic process characteristic of the varicose vein wall.

Objectives: To determine symptomatology, clinical class, and topographic patterns of varicose veins in a consecutive series of patients with venous complaints. Methods: We performed clinical examination and duplex scanning of 498 lower limbs in 317 patients with obvious varicose veins for whom no previous treatment had been undertaken. Results: Classes of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in 498 legs: grade 0: 117 (23.5%); gr 1: 310 (62.2%); gr 2: 47 (9.4%); gr 3: 24 (4.8%). Duplex-detected venous reflux was found in the greater saphenous vein territory (junction or trunk or related perforator or main tributary) in 423 limbs (85.3%) the sapheno-femoral junction was incompetent in only 342 legs (68.7%). Reflux was found in the lesser saphenous vein territory in 100 limbs (20.1%) and in sapheno-popliteal junction in 92 (18.5%). Strictly non saphenous origin of varicosities was found in 31 limbs (6.2%). Deep venous incompetence was found in 48 legs (9.6%). Conclusions: These findings yield data on the distribution and occurence of lower limbs venous lesions in patients with varicose disease.

This article examines the practice of standard varicose vein surgery including sapheno-femoral and sapheno-popliteal ligation, perforator surgery and surgery for recurrent varicose veins. The technique of exposure of the sapheno-femoral junction and the sapheno-popliteal junction is outlined and advice given on avoidance of complications for both. The evidence regarding methods of closure over the ligated sapheno-femoral junction is examined as is the requirement for stripping and the use of different types of stripper. The requirement to strip the small saphenous vein and the extent of dissection necessary in the popliteal fossa is also examined. Complications of standard varicose vein surgery are outlined. The frequency of wound infection, nerve injury, vascular injury and venous thromboembolism are listed and strategies to avoid these complications are examined.

Background. The goal of this retrospective cohort study (REVATA) was to determine the site, source, and contributory factors of varicose vein recurrence after radiofrequency (RF) and laser ablation.Methods. Seven centers enrolled patients into the study over a 1-year period. All patients underwent previous thermal ablation of the great saphenous vein (GSV), small saphenous vein (SSV), or anterior accessory great saphenous vein (AAGSV). From a specific designed study tool, the etiology of recurrence was identified.Results. 2,380 patients were evaluated during this time frame. A total of 164 patients had varicose vein recurrence at a median of 3 years. GSV ablation was the initial treatment in 159 patients (RF: 33, laser: 126, 52 of these patients had either SSV or AAGSV ablation concurrently). Total or partial GSV recanalization occurred in 47 patients. New AAGSV reflux occurred in 40 patients, and new SSV reflux occurred in 24 patients. Perforator pathology was present in 64% of patients.Conclusion. Recurrence of varicose veins occurred at a median of 3 years after procedure. The four most important factors associated with recurrent veins included perforating veins, recanalized GSV, new AAGSV reflux, and new SSV reflux in decreasing frequency. Patients who underwent RF treatment had a statistically higher rate of recanalization than those treated with laser.

Prolonged Standing

The lifestyle changes, obesity, the occupational pattern of prolonged standing and pregnancy are considered to be significantly contributing to this situation known as Varicose veins wherein veins become enlarged and twisted. Incidence of varicose vein is more in people belonging to the occupation that involved prolonged standing. Varicose vein can be co-related to Sirajgranthi as described in Ayurvedic texts. Ayurved formulations are said to be effective in the management of Sirajgranthi (Varicose veins) Sirajgranthi, treated at an early stage or allows proper maintenance of signs and symptoms reduces the complications and support a better quality of life. In this article we have tried to analyse the anatomical and physiological changes due to long term standing.

Summary. The aim of the study is to determine the variants of the anatomical structure of the saphenopliteal anastomosis in ultrasound Doppler of the veins of the lower extremities, including as sources of pathological blood reflux in varicose veins of the small saphenous vein basin, and the importance of insolvent veins in the formation of insufficiency in the small saphenous vein basin to clarify the further protocol treatment. Materials and methods. The venous system of 2348 patients was studied, including both patients with various pathologies of the venous system, including those with varicose veins, and those in whom the pathology of the veins was not detected by USDG. Results and discussion. In patients with USDG, various anatomical variants of the structure of the sapheno-popliteal anastomosis were found. The anastomosis may look like a perforating vein and have a fairly sharp angle of deviation from the trunk. In these cases, it is recommended to conduct an open surgical intervention, namely: crossectomy — ligation and transection of the small saphenous vein, striping — removal of the trunk of the small saphenous vein, ligation of insolvent communicative veins, miniflebectomy - removal of varicose nodes through punctures. The smooth course of the sapheno-popliteal anastomosis was found in 58.0 % of the subjects and did not depend on the level of the anastomosis. In such cases, the option of choice for surgical intervention was minimally invasive technologies: laser coagulation, radiofrequency ablation, as well as combined phlebectomy, which includes the following stages - removal of varicose inflows of the small saphenous vein and elimination of incompetent perforating veins. Indirect variants of the anastomosis turned out to be frequent, for example, through the sural or nonsaphenic vein with the presence of additional venous vessels (up to 18.0 % of those studied). In these cases, the level of the anastomosis was also formed below the knee joint gap. According to the USDG data, the anatomical absence of the sapheno-popliteal anastomosis was found only in 142 patients, which is less than 1.0 %. In such patients, a search and elimination of pathological reflux is performed, which leads to the development of varicose veins in the system of the small saphenous vein. Its varicose inflows are removed and insolvent perforating veins are eliminated. Conclusion. The specialists’ understanding of the variants of the structure of the saphenopliteal anastomosis in normal and pathological conditions, as well as the observance of the full examination protocol for venous ultrasonography, allows providing detailed information in order to determine the most effective treatment tactics and prevention of disease recurrence.

The lower limbs’ venous system has the pressure of posture, and blood has to be pushed against gravity into the heart cavity. This issue is generally approached either by a cautious approach or by surgical interference, all of which are constrained. Attempts to study different clinical manifestations of varicose veins are being made in the present study. The overall number of 50 varicose vein patients was analysed and the study results were reported. Varicosity veins of the lower limb is a fairly normal pathological entity. In the 20-50 age range, the condition is more common. The main modality of the procedure is surgery. The most common technique performed is Saphenofemoral flush ligation with stripping.

The thrombosis in areas of the superficial truncal varicose veins and cutaneous veins is not a rare complication; it requires drug or surgical therapy if the thrombosis grows in the direction of deep veins. This situation is particularly striking in the case of thromboses of the great saphenous vein GSV and small saphenous vein SSV as well as other saphenous veins and leads to deep vein thrombosis in around 20% of cases. We will report about a case of SSV thrombosis and the catheter-based therapy of thrombosis following the therapy of truncal varicose vein SSV with VenaSeal® in one session.

Objective: To investigate the surgical anatomy and morphology of recurrent sapheno-femoral incompetence after correctly performed sapheno-femoral ligation. To test the hypothesis that such recurrence develops through neovascularization. Design: Prospective study of single patient group. Setting: Varicose vein clinic of teaching hospital. Patients: One hundred and twenty-eight patients (141 limbs) were reviewed 4 or more years after accurately performed sapheno-femoral ligation with catgut, silk or tantalum wire. Intervention: Clinical assessment, phlebography, surgical exploration and examination of recurrent veins by radiographic and histological methods. Main outcome measures: Presence of reflux through newly formed veins at the site of previous ligation. Results: Of 141 limbs, clinical or phlebographic evidence of sapheno-femoral recurrence was confirmed in 35 of 37 on surgical exploration. The continuity of the saphenous vein with the previously ligated sapheno-femoral junction was restored through a newly formed vein or complex of veins. Conclusions: Neovascularization was the cause of recurrent sapheno-femoral incompetence after correctly performed sapheno-femoral ligation.

Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of compression stockings in controlling the varicose veins in pregnant women. Method A prospective controlled randomized clinical trial was performed, including 60 women: intervention group (n = 30), who used compression stockings, and control group (n = 30). Diameters of the great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein in the lower limbs of pregnant women in an orthostatic position were analyzed using Duplex-ultrasound. The symptomatology and CEAP were evaluated. Results Great saphenous vein diameters in the intervention group were 0.37 cm initial and 0.32 cm final (p < 0.0001) in the right leg and 0.28 cm and 0.38 cm (p < 0.0001) in the control group. CEAP classification presented worsening in the control group (p < 0.0001). The signs and symptoms in the control vs. intervention group: pain (86.67% vs. 23.33%; p < 0.0001), edema (70.00% vs. 33.33%; p = 0.0045), and leg heaviness (93.33% vs. 13.33%; p < 0.0001). Conclusions Compression stockings were effective in controlling the varicose veins related to pregnancy.
