Incidence and location of deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities: what do we know?

Niels BÆKGAARD, Vascular Clinic, Gentofte Hospital and Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract In the last century, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) plus pulmonary embolism was one of the most frequent causes of death in hospitalized patients. However, the incidence of DVT alone has been difficult to calculate from the entity of venous thromboembolism because the incidence of DVT is provided as either DVT without pulmonary embolism or pulmonary embolism ± DVT, where the latter group does not provide the precise rate of DVT. Therefore, our epidemiological review will focus on the first group, with an emphasis on first-time DVT. In…

Anatomy of foot and ankle perforator veins

Jean-François UHL1 Miguel LO VUOLO2 Claude GILLOT1 1 URDIA Anatomy Research Unit EA4465, Descartes University, Paris Cité Sorbonne 2 Diagnóstico por Imágenes Junín, Santa Fe, Argentina Abstract Background: The foot venous pump is located in the plantar veins, where both its anatomy and connections with the saphenous roots and the foot perforator veins are not well known, and therefore, they are under investigated in daily practice. The aim of this paper is to describe the unique anatomy and the functional role of the foot perforator veins and emphasize their key role during the activation of the foot venous pump. Ankle…

Duplex ultrasound investigation in pelvic congestion syndrome: technique and results

Philippe LEMASLE1 Milka GREINER2 1 Cabinet Nouvelle France, 15 rue Pottier, 78150 Le Chesnay, France 2 American Hospital of Paris, Vascular Department, 63 Bd Victor Hugo, 92200 Neuilly sur Seine, France Abstract Chronic pelvic venous insufficiency is a common pathology, but it is overlooked and underdiagnosed as it sits on the edge of two medical specialties: gynecology and vascular medicine. It manifests most frequently as pelvic varicose veins and pelvic venous reflux toward the lower limbs. When symptomatic, it is expressed in the pelvic area as a sometimes-disabling pelvic congestion syndrome and/or in the lower limbs as it supplies the…
