foot vein has been believed to accurately reflect deep venous pressure changes with calf exercise. Recent data throw considerable doubt on this long-held assumption [16].
Air-plethysmography is a non-invasive test of calf venous pump and can be used to assess surgical outcome [17]. Residual volume correlates with ambulatory venous pressure. However, venous filling index (VFI
) has been a more consistent index of

reflux with normalization after corrective surgery [18, 19].
Venous endothelial injury that occurs with deep venous surgery takes about 6 weeks to heal [20]. Patients should be anticoagulated adequately during this vulner­able period. With proper management, the thromboembolic complication rate is surprisingly low [21]. Patients who have suffered from previous bouts of throm­boembolism and those with known hypercoagulable abnormalities are under increased risk of recurrent thrombosis and are candidates for long-term or even permanent anticoagulation. [Q2: A]
Once thought a rarity, primary deep venous reflux comprises about 30–40 percent of all deep venous reflux in centers active in deep venous reconstruction. Differentiating “primary” deep venous reflux from secondary or post-thrombotic reflux is problematic. The presentation and clinical features may be similar. Negative history for prior DVT may be unreliable as some thromboses are silent; and others might have been overlooked ascribing limb pain to trauma or orthope­dic surgery that initiated it. Preoperative venography is a poor guide, and surgical exploration of the valve station is often the final arbiter [22]. Some patients with primary reflux develop actual distal thrombosis that can be recurrent. Correction of proximal reflux in this group of patients may alleviate these recurrent symptoms

[23]. Conversely, deep venous thrombosis initiates by unknown mechanisms even­tual development of reflux in adjacent and remote valve stations [24].
Correction of primary deep venous reflux by internal valvuloplasty was first described by Kistner in 1964. Subsequently, he described an external technique as well. A variety of open and closed techniques (Fig. 44.1) for correction of primary and post-thrombotic deep venous reflux are currently in use [25, 26]. The internal valvuloplasty technique has provided excellent results [21, 23, 27–29] and remains the standard (Fig. 44.2). The newer techniques provide a wider choice that may be more appropriate in certain circumstances, and yield clinical results similar to the original internal technique [21, 30]. Direct valvuloplasty may be feasible in some cases of post-thrombotic reflux where the valves have escaped destruction [22, 31]. Axillary vein valve transfer is the standard commonly used for correction of post-thrombotic reflux. It can be used with some modifications even in trabeculated veins with surprisingly good long-term patency and clinical success [32]. Arm swelling after axillary vein harvest is rare. [Q3: C]
The recent introduction of vein stent technology has decreased the number of valve reconstructions in our institution. Post-thrombotic syndrome is known to be due to a combination of obstruction and reflux in the majority of patients [33]. Use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has shown that Cockett’s syndrome (alias May–Thurner syndrome) is surprisingly frequent in “primary” reflux as well [34]. Correction of the obstructive component with stent placement in thrombotic and non-thrombotic cases results in excellent relief of pain and swelling and the patency rate is quite good [35]. Even totally occluded iliac veins can be successfully recanal­ized and stented [36]. Venous stasis ulcers are generally believed to be the result of reflux, not obstruction. Yet this relatively simple percutaneous outpatient stent technique results in healing of about 60 percent of venous stasis ulceration [37], even when the associated reflux remains uncorrected. Iliac vein stent placement is

currently the first choice in combined obstruction/reflux, and does not preclude later open surgery such as valve reconstruction or venous bypass if the stent were to fail. It is often combined with percutaneous laser ablation of the saphenous vein when reflexive. Saphenous ablation can be carried out safely, even in the presence of chronic deep venous obstruction (secondary varix) [38].

Superficial Venous Insufficiency
Gudmundur Danielsson and Bo Eklöf
A 59-year-old female secretary was referred for evaluation and treatment of a non-healing painful ulcer on the medial aspect of her right lower leg. The ulcer had been recurrent almost every year for the past 9 years, often healing during the winter season. She had since early childhood been overweight (currently 87 kg, 170 cm, body mass index 30) and had difficulty in using compression stocking. She was otherwise healthy. She had two children, the first child born when she was 32 year of age and her second child 2 years later. After the birth of her second child she began to notice varicose veins on the lower leg on both sides and she often felt tiredness and heaviness in the leg in the afternoon. There was no history of deep venous thrombosis. She had been on birth control pills for 10 years and was currently on hormone replacement therapy because of severe postmenopausal symptoms. She had been treated at a local dermatological clinic for the past 2 years and was now being evaluated by a vascular surgeon. Clinical evaluation showed that she had 5 × 5 cm well-granulated ulceration above the right median malleolus which was surrounded by brownish leathery skin. She had slight swelling of the right leg with large varicosities below the knee. The left leg had large varicosities below the knee but no swelling or skin changes. Doppler examination revealed clear reflux in the groin that could be followed over both great saphenous veins (GSV) down the thigh. A possible minimal reflux was also noted in the popliteal fossa on the right side, although it was difficult to confirm this when the Doppler examination was repeated. Foot arteries were palpable on the dorsum of the foot on both sides.
Question 1
What should be the next step in this patient evaluation?
A. Measurement of ankle-brachial index.
B. Duplex ultrasound scanning of the venous system.
C. Plethysmography.

D. Ascending phlebography.
E. Biopsy of the ulcer.
Doppler measurement revealed a normal ankle/brachial index with systolic blood
pressure 130 in both legs and right arm. Duplex ultrasound scanning of the venous system performed with the patient in 60° reversed-Trendelenburg position, using pneumatic cuff with automatic inflation/release on the lower leg to evaluate the reflux, showed bilateral reflux in the GSV, from the common femoral vein down to below knee, as well as two incompetent perforator veins on the medial aspect of the right calf with a diameter of 4 mm. The diameter of the GSV at the groin was 12 mm on the right side and 9 mm on the left side. The reflux time exceeded 4 s in both GSV, with peak reverse flow velocity more than 30 cm/s. Reflux less than 0.5 s was noted in the lesser saphenous vein on right side. No reflux was present in the deep veins except for minimal reflux in the common femoral vein with reflux duration of approximately 1 s on the right side. There were no signs of post-thrombotic changes.
Question 2
How should this patient be classified?
A. Leg ulcer.
B. Varicose ulcer.
C. C6,S,Ep,As,p,d,Pr.
D. C2,3,4b,5,6,S,Ep,As,p,d,Pr2,3,11,18.
The patient was classified according to the CEAP (clinical, (a)etiological, anatomical,
pathophysiological) classification based on history and results of duplex ultrasound.
Question 3
Which of the following is not regarded as a risk factor for venous ulcer?
A. Diabetes.
B. Essential hypertension.

A. Observation.
B. Sclerotherapy.
C. High ligation and stripping of GSV and local extirpation of varicose veins.
D. Obliteration of GSV using laser or radiofrequency heating and local extirpation
of varicose veins.
The patient was treated with four-layer compression therapy until the operation
day, which was postponed for 4 months. The ulcer and the swelling both decreased during this period; the ulcer measured 2 × 2 cm the day before operation. Both the right and the left leg GSV were treated with the closure method using radiofre­quency derived heating, and varicose veins on the lower leg were extirpated through multiple small incisions. Intraoperative duplex ultrasound scanning revealed that both GSV were occluded with no sign of reflux and the deep veins were patent with no sign of deep venous thrombosis. No specific treatment was performed for the incompetent perforator veins. The patient was discharged the same day after uneventful postoperative recovery and was scheduled for new duplex ultrasound scanning after 2 and 7 days. The postoperative duplex ultrasound scanning was normal, with no sign of deep venous thrombosis, and the remnant of GSV was occluded. The patient continued with four-layer bandaging and went back to work on the fifth day after operation. The ulcer was healed at the last visit, which was 4 weeks later. Treatment with compression stocking during the daytime was planned for another 6 months.

Commentary
Investigation of both the arterial and the venous system is mandatory in cases of non-healing ulcer on the leg. Although Doppler examination had only revealed a clear reflux in GSV it is worthwhile to continue with duplex ultrasound scanning as deep venous incompetence and post-thrombotic changes can otherwise be over­looked. This is especially important when reflux is noted at the back of the knee where it is difficult with certainty to differentiate between deep venous reflux in the popliteal vein and reflux in the lesser saphenous vein. Although the history (no claudication or rest pain, no diabetes) and the location of the ulcer (medial aspect of lower leg) strongly suggest a venous ulcer, sometimes an arterial component is also present that might reduce the ability of the ulcer to heal. Palpable pulse on the dorsum of the foot (dorsalis pedis) or behind the medial malleolus (posterior tibial artery), as was evident in this case, almost rules out an arterial component. Although plethysmography can estimate the overall venous function it is not mandatory as a first line of investigation. Obtaining an ascending phlebography is also not necessary as it does not add any information that duplex ultrasound scan­ning does not provide and it is also an invasive method with the risk of complica­tions. Non-healing ulcer with unusual appearance should be considered for other aetiology and investigated with biopsy in the early stage of evaluation. [Q1: A, B]
The old concept that the majority of venous ulcers are due to previous deep venous thrombosis [1, 2] has been altered during the last 20 years when duplex ultrasound studies have shown the importance of primary reflux in all venous seg­ments [3–7]. Superficial venous incompetence is often noted to be the sole pathol­ogy in patients presenting with non-healing venous ulcer [8]. Formerly the venous ulcer was often judged as being related to a post-thrombotic condition without any objective diagnosis. Because of the benign course of varicose veins in the majority of patients with superficial venous incompetence, the need for thorough evaluation is often neglected. Formerly used classifications of chronic venous disease used the term varicose ulcer if varicose veins were present, or post-thrombotic ulcer if they were less evident or if there was a previous history of deep venous thrombosis. The importance of classification, based on findings from duplex ultrasound scanning, has become more evident during the last decades as treatment and prognosis is largely dependent on the background history and the results of clinical investiga­tion. CEAP (clinical, (a)etiological, anatomical, pathophysiological) classification has gained more acceptance as the “gold standard” for classifying all aspects of venous pathology such as clinical class, aetiological background, anatomical distri­bution and pathophysiological findings (Table 45.1). There is a clear correlation between the CEAP clinical class and the venous function as measured by plethys­mography (foot volumetry), indicating that the clinical classification has a realistic meaning concerning the functional evaluation of venous disease. The duration of reflux in venous segments, on the other hand, does not correlate with clinical class, but the peak reverse flow velocity is significantly higher in patients with skin changes/ulcer (C4–C6) [9]. The basic part of CEAP indicates the highest clinical class (C6, active venous ulcer) and the anatomical distribution in superficial, perfo­rator or deep system (As, p, d) with reflux (Pr). S is added behind clinical class to indicate that the patient is symptomatic. The basic classification is sufficient for most clinical doctors. [Q2: C, D] The detailed version of CEAP is used when more information is needed as in longitudinal studies comparing treatment alternatives

(Table 45.2). For more detailed information regarding the disease and its effect on daily life it is possible to use a venous severity scoring system [11]. Venous severity scoring is used as a complement to the CEAP classification (Fig. 45.1). Some medical conditions are clearly a risk factor for venous ulcer while others are less important. Venous ulcers are overrepresented in patients with diabetes although it is not clear if it is the venous pathology or if it is the diabetic microangiopathy that is the reason for this. Neither essential hypertension nor smoking is a proven risk factor for venous ulcer. The prevalence of varicose veins is increased in overweight individuals but the role of obesity is less clear when it comes to the risk of develop­ing skin changes or ulcer. The apparent association between overweight and vari­cose veins in women suggests that it is a risk factor even in the more severe form of chronic venous disease [12–14]. In a consecutive series of 272 patients with chronic venous disease investigated with duplex ultrasound scanning, 58 per cent of patients with healed or open ulcer (C5–C6) had body mass index >30 kg/m
2
(obese) as compared to 15 per cent of those with varicose veins but without skin changes or ulcer [15]. [Q3: A, B, C] Most thrombophilic conditions are risk factors for deep venous thrombosis and venous ulceration, as is resistance to activated protein C [16]. The prevalence of thrombophilia is high in patients with venous ulceration despite no history or duplex ultrasound findings of deep venous thrombosis [17].

Surgical treatment is mandatory in cases of isolated superficial incompetence as the likelihood of ulcer recurrence otherwise will remain high. Conservative treat­ment alone with below-knee compression had not been successful in keeping the ulcer healed, but it is important to continue with compression therapy while the ulcer is open and for some time after operation. Four-layer bandage is effective in healing venous ulcer [18]. High ligation with stripping of the GSV down to below the knee, with local extirpation of varicose veins, is the method of choice. It decreases the risk of ulcer recurrence and has a low incidence of nerve damage to the saphenous nerve. Stripping of the vein from the groin to the ankle increases the risk of damage to the saphenous nerve (5 per cent versus 29 per cent), although the recurrence rate is still the same [19]. Just doing high ligation without stripping the vein is less feasible as the recurrence rate is significantly higher [20]. Other promising methods for ablation of the refluxing GSV have emerged recently and might become the methods of choice in the future. As the diameter of the GSV was less than 15 mm it was possible to use the radiofrequency closure method to obliter­ate the vein. The main advantage of using less invasive methods is increased patient satisfaction, as the recovery time after operation has been reported to be shorter. Follow-up time up to 5 years with the radiofrequency method indicates that the method is durable. The long-term results after ablation of GSV using laser tech­nique or foam sclerotherapy are still unknown. [Q4: B, D]
The varicose veins on the lower leg are dealt with by using multiple stab incisions and bringing them out using hooks. The cosmetic results are better and the risk of nerve damage is less. Care should be taken not to operate close to the ulcer area as healing problems and infection are more common if the incisions are made in damaged skin.
