Appreciation of Anatomy
• REVATA retrospective cohort analysis
• Post-ablation 7% had varicose vein recurrence at ~3
yrs
• Among the recurrence cases:
-2/3 had perforator reflux
-40 new AAGSV reflux
-24 new SSV reflux

the recurrent veins after thermal ablation study. Sci World J. 2014; 505843
Superficial veins:
GSV, SSV, AAGSV, PAGSV,
intersaphenous, reticular
Perforators:
Cross fascial planes (superficial to
deep)
Communicators:
Connect in same fascial plane
Deep veins:
Common femoral, femoral,
popliteal, soleal, gastroc, tibial…

Pointers:
• True GSV duplication (within fascia) ~2% in
thigh, 25% in calf.
• GSV may exit fascia and become more
superficial in distal thigh.
• Valve in SFJ 94%
• Main GSV trunk: 6+ valves
• SSV: 7-10 valves

Perforators
 ~64 in thigh & leg
 Often accompanied by artery
 4 major clinical groups: thigh, medial calf,
lateral calf, foot
 Many have valves.

Pathophysiology
Not fully understood
• Changes to vein wall matrix,
inflammation or thrombosis
involving valves
• Venous hypertension,
obstruction

Pathology Analysis of Varicose
Veins
• ...intimal hypertrophy due to fibrous
tissue infiltration, localized thinning of
muscle layer and loss of intimal &
medial smooth muscle cells.
• Loss of the normal elastin/collagen
lattice network.

Summary
• Venous insufficiency a/w incompletely
understood inflammatory changes.
• Significant variability in venous anatomy.
• Careful evaluation with US duplex vital for
diagnosis & treatment plan.
