supracardinal vein (see Figure2.2D).
Developmental variations of the le renal vein include persistent (circumaortic)
renal collar (1–9%) and retroaortic le renal vein (1–2%)

(see Figure2.3).
Capillaries of the primitive limb buds initially drain into
the marginal sinuses. In the arm the ulnar portion of the
marginal sinuses dominate over the radial ones, and eventually form the basilic, axillary, and subclavian veins. e subclavian vein drains into the proximal anterior cardinal vein.
e cephalic vein develops secondarily from segments of the
radial marginal sinuses and attaches to the axillary vein later.
In the leg, segments of the primitive marginal sinuses persist
only distally and develop into the peroneal, anterior tibial,
and small saphenous veins (SSV). e great saphenous vein
(GSV) originates from the posterior cardinal vein and later
gives o the femoral, popliteal, and posterior tibialveins.
HISTOLOGY
the liver sinusoids, the suprarenal segment of the IVC will
not develop, consequently the lower part of the body will be
drained through the azygos system and the liver will drain
directly into the heart. Double IVC (0.2–3%) occurs due to
the persistence of the le supracardinal vein, therefore it usually involves only the infrarenal segment (see Figure2.2C).
Le -sided IVC (<0.5%) develops if persistence of the le
e venous wall has three layers:intima, media, and adventitia. e intima is made up by endothelial cells and an
underlying thin connective tissue layer. Valves are formed
by infolding of the intima, therefore they are covered with
endothelium on both sides and have a very thin connective
6
tissue skeleton. Venous valves are bicuspid. e veins are
distended at the base of the valves, probably secondary to

e superior vena cava (SVC) starts at the con uence of the
brachiocephalic veins behind the rst right costal cartilage,
and ends at the level of the third right costal cartilage, where
it drains into the right atrium. e SVC is about 7cm long
and 2cm wide. Halfway along its course, before it enters the
pericardium, the SVC receives the azygos arch. e brachiocephalic veins are formed at the con uence of the subclavian
and internal jugular veins behind the sternoclavicular joints
(see Figure 2.4). e right brachiocephalic vein is short,
about 2–3cm, and lies anterior to the innominate artery.

e le one is about 6cm long and courses obliquely behind
the manubrium from le to right, anterior to the le subclavian, common carotid arteries, and superior to the aortic
arch. Major tributaries of the brachiocephalic veins are the
vertebral, internal thoracic, and inferior thyroid veins. e
rst intercostal vein drains into the brachiocephalic veins
on both sides. e le superior intercostal vein is connected
to the le brachiocephalic vein, whereas on the right it joins
the azygos vein. ere are no valves in either the SVC or the
brachiocephalicveins.
e azygos-hemiazygos system forms an H-shaped network in the posterior mediastinum, anterior to the body of
the thoracic vertebrae (see Figure2.4). e azygos vein gives
the entire right arm of the H, the hemiazygos gives the le
lower and the accessory hemiazygos vein the le upper segment. e azygos vein starts at T12 to L2 with the con uence of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins. e
azygos vein ascends on the right side up to the level of T4,
then passes anterior to form an arch joining the SVC. Major
tributaries of the azygos vein are the right posterior h to
eleventh intercostal veins and the right superior intercostal
vein draining the second to fourth intercostal veins. e
hemiazygos vein starts similar to the azygos vein but on the
le side of the vertebral column at T12 to L2. It courses cranial and at the level of T8 it crosses over to join the azygos
vein. Major tributaries of the hemiazygos vein are the le

posterior eighth to eleventh intercostal veins. e accessory
hemiazygos vein has more variation than the azygos and
hemiazygos veins. Usually it drains the le superior intercostal vein (which in turn drains the le second to fourth
intercostal veins) and the le posterior h to seventh intercostal veins. At the level of T7 it either crosses over to the
right and joins the azygos or stays on the le and joins the
hemiazygos vein. If the connection between the accessory
hemiazygos and the rest of the azygos-hemiazygos system
is not developed, the accessory hemiazygos vein will drain
through the le superior intercostal vein into the le brachiocephalic vein. e azygos-hemiazygos system receives
several small veins from the viscera of the chest and freely
anastomoses with the vertebral venous plexuses as well. e
e dorsal and palmar digital veins join to form the metacarpal veins, which drain into the super cially located dorsal venous network of the hand. e cephalic and basilic
veins arise from this network on the radial and ulnar side
of the wrist, respectively. e super cial veins on the palmar side of the hand are richly anastomosed to the deep
veins. Asuper cial and a more proximal deep venous arch
is formed from the interconnection of the palmar veins and
parallel the corresponding arterial arches.
e cephalic vein originates at the anatomical snu box
from the dorsal venous network. It courses over the distal
radius to the ventral aspect of the forearm and ascends on
the lateral side of the arm. e cephalic vein runs in the deltopectoral groove, it enters the infraclavicular fossa behind
the pectoralis major muscle and pierces the clavipectoral
fascia before empting into the axillary vein (see Figure2.5).
e basilic vein begins on the ulnar side of the wrist, passes
along the ulnar aspect of the forearm, and courses more ventrally at the level of the elbow. Above the elbow the basilic
vein runs medial to the biceps and at about midway in the
upper arm it perforates the deep fascia and joins the brachial vein. A er receiving the brachial vein, the basilic vein
continues in the axillary vein. e median cubital vein connects the cephalic and basilic veins in the antecubital fossa.
e medial antebrachial vein originates from the super cial
palmar venous plexus and runs on the ventral side of the
forearm. It joins either the cephalic or basilic vein or both
in the proximal forearm. e accessory cephalic vein originates from the dorsal venous plexus on the ulnar side and
crosses over dorsally to join the cephalic vein in the forearm. Variations in the anatomy of super cial arm veins are
c o u n t l e s s .
Deep veins of the hand join to form the paired radial,
ulnar, and interosseus veins, which accompany the corresponding arteries. e three pairs of deep veins of the forearm form the brachial veins at the level of the elbow. e
paired brachial veins join the basilic vein to form the axillary vein at the lower border of the teres major muscle (at
the lateral border of the scapula on an anteroposterior chest
X-ray). e axillary vein is located medial and inferior to
the axillary artery and the medial cord of the brachial plexus
lies between the two vessels. e axillary vein ends at the
outer border of the rst rib, where it becomes the subclavian
vein. e subclavian vein runs posterior and superior to the
subclavian artery and receives its only major tributary, the
external jugular vein. e subclavian vein ends at the medial
border of the scalenus anterior muscle, where it joins the
internal jugular vein to form the brachiocephalicvein.

ere are valves in the super cial and deep veins of
the arm, although they are not so numerous as in the leg.
Valves in the axillary vein usually are located proximal to
the junction with the brachial and cephalic veins. e subclavian vein has a valve just proximal to the con uence of
the external jugular vein. Upper extremity venous return is
maintained mainly by the work of the heart without signi cant contribution of a muscle pump. erefore the valves
are less important from a functional standpoint. Perforators
between the deep and super cial veins are scarce.
ANATOMY OF THE ABDOMINAL
AND PELVICVEINS
and the hepatic veins, additionally on the right side the right
gonadal, suprarenal, and inferior phrenic veins also drain
into the IVC (see Figure2.4). e le gonadal and suprarenal veins join the le renal vein; the le inferior phrenic vein
drains into the le suprarenal vein. In case of IVC obstruction, communication between the veins of the thoracic and
abdominal wall (thoracoepigastric, internal thoracic, and
epigastric veins), the lumbar-azygos anastomosis, and the
vertebral plexuses provide important collateral pathways.
e common iliac veins begin at the sacroiliac joint on
both sides and end at L5, where they form the IVC. e only
tributary of the right common iliac vein is the right ascending lumbar vein; the le common iliac vein drains the le
ascending lumbar and median sacral veins (see Figure2.4).
e right common iliac vein lies posterolateral to the right
common iliac artery. e distal segment of the le common
iliac vein is medial and posterior to the le common iliac
artery, the proximal segment is posterior to the right iliac
artery and distal aorta. Compression of the proximal le
common iliac vein may occur due to the overlying arterial
structures. e external iliac vein starts at the level of the
inguinal ligament, it courses along the pelvic brim and ends
anterior to the sacroiliac joint where the external and internal iliac veins form the common iliac vein. On the right the
distal external iliac vein is medial to the artery; however, as
it ascends, more proximally, it courses posterior to it. e
le external iliac vein remains medial to the artery along its
entire course. Tributaries of the external iliac vein are the
inferior epigastric, deep circum ex iliac, and pubic veins.
e internal iliac vein runs posteromedial to the internal
iliac artery on both sides. e short trunk of internal iliac
vein is formed by the con uence of extra and intrapelvic
venous tributaries. e extrapelvic tributaries include the
gluteal (superior and inferior), internal pudendal, and obturator veins, which drain the pelvic wall and the perineum.
Intrapelvic tributaries of the internal iliac vein are the lateral sacral and visceral (middle rectal, vesical, uterine, and
vaginal) veins, which drain the presacral and pelvic visceral venous plexuses (rectal, vesical, prostatic, uterine, and
vaginal).
Both the IVC and the common iliac veins are valveless.
ere is usually one valve in the external iliac vein, but o en
it is without any valves.
e inferior vena cava (IVC) begins at the con uence of the
common iliac veins and ascends on the right side of the vertebral column, passes through the tendinous portion of the
diaphragm, and a er a short course (approximately 2.5cm)
in the chest it terminates in the right atrium at the level of
T9. In the upper abdomen the IVC is located posterior to
the duodenum, the head and neck of the pancreas, the lesser
sac, and the liver. e intrahepatic portion of the IVC lies
in a groove along the posterior aspect of the caudate lobe.
Tributaries of the IVC are the paired lumbar and renal veins

orough knowledge of the fascial compartments of the leg
is a prerequisite of understanding the relationship between
super cial and deep veins. e fascia surrounding the calf
and thigh muscles separates two compartments:the super cial compartment, consisting of all tissues between the skin
and the fascia, and the deep compartment, which includes
all tissues between the fascia and the bones (see Figure2.6).

e saphenous nerve runs in close
proximity to the GSV in the distal two-thirds of the calf.
Accessory GSVs are frequently present, and they run parallel to the GSV both in the thigh and in the leg; they lie
either anterior, posterior, or super cial to the main trunk.
e posterior accessory GSV of the leg (Leonardo’s vein or
posterior arch vein) is a common tributary, it begins posterior to the medial malleolus, ascends on the posteromedial
aspect of the calf, and joins the GSV distal to the knee (see
Figure2.8). e anterior accessory GSV of the leg drains
the anterior aspect of the leg below the knee. e posterior

24
Uncommonly the main trunk of the SSV continues without
draining into the popliteal vein and eventually empties into
11
the femoral vein or GSV.
e intersaphenous vein (vein of
Giacomini) is a communicating vein connecting the SSV to
the GSV in the posteromedial thigh. e sural nerve courses
along the SSV in the distal calf. Super cial veins of the lateral leg and thigh form the lateral venous system. e lateral
venous system is drained through multiple small tributaries
into the GSV andSSV.
Deep veins of the foot form two divisions:the plantar
and the dorsal veins. e richly anastomosing deep plantar venous arch drains the plantar digital veins through
the plantar metatarsal veins. e deep plantar venous arch
drains into the medial and lateral plantar veins, which
in turn continue in the posterior tibial veins behind the
25
medial ankle (see Figure2.11).
On the dorsum of the foot
the pedal vein drains the deep dorsal digital veins through
the dorsal metatarsal veins. e pedal vein continues in the
anterior tibial veins. Pairs of the posterior and anterior tibial
and peroneal veins accompany the corresponding arteries,
and all drain into the popliteal vein (see Figure2.11). Large
soleal and gastrocnemius (medial, lateral, and intergemellar) veins drain venous sinuses of calf muscles and join the
popliteal vein (Figure 2.12). Venous sinuses are closely
related to deep veins. ey are embedded in the belly of calf
muscles, such as the soleus and gastrocnemius, and are able
to dilate and hold a large amount of blood. With the contraction of calf muscles at walking the blood is pumped to

Valves in super cial veins of the lower extremity usually
https://t.me/med1917
are located near the termination of major tributaries. Some
valves are well developed with marked sinusoid dilation
at their base, others are more delicate in their structure. In
the GSV there are about six valves, with more valves located
below than above the knee. Anearly constant valve of GSV
is at 2–3cm distal to its con uence with the femoral vein.
Valves in the SSV are closer to each other than in the GSV.
Valves in communicating branches between the SSV and
GSV are oriented to direct blood from the SSV to the GSV.
Like super cial veins, deep veins have more valves in the calf
than in the thigh. Tibial veins are densely packed with valves,
whereas there are only one or two valves in the popliteal vein.
In the femoral vein there are three to ve valves, with one of
them located just distal to the junction of the deep femoral
vein. ere is usually one valve in the common femoral vein.
Major PVs have one to three valves, all located below the level
of the fascia, that direct ow toward the deep veins. Small PVs
are usually valveless. PVs of the foot are without any valves or
with valves that direct ow toward the super cialveins.
CUTANEOUS NERVES OF THE LOWER
EXTREMITIES
Nerve injury is a potential complication of varicose vein procedures and is the most frequent cause for litigation following
35
varicose vein surgery.
Knowledge of lower extremity nerve
anatomy can minimize adverse outcomes. e most common nerve injury is to the common peroneal nerve where it
36
crosses the neck of the bula.
Other nerves of importance
during varicose vein procedures include the saphenous, tibial, and sural nerves. eir anatomical locations have been
previously described and illustrated in Figures2.8 and2.10.

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CHRONIC PERIPHERAL
VENOUSDISEASE

INTRODUCTION
e term “chronic venous disease,” or more speci cally of
interest here, “chronic peripheral venous disease” (CPVD)
has been used more generally to refer to either visible and/
or functional abnormalities in the peripheral venous system.
e most widely used classi cation of such abnormalities
is the CEAP (clinical, etiological, anatomic, pathophysiologic), which employs both anatomic (super cial, deep,
or perforating veins) and pathophysiologic (re ux, obstruction, or both) categories.
ther described in Chapter10 .
e CEAP classi cation re ects the clinical situation in
which patients are typically referred to a vascular specialist
for clinically signi cant venous disease. In contrast to the
clinical situation, population studies of CPVD have typically focused on broader categories determined by visual
inspection only. e three major categories of interest have
been varicose veins (VV), chronic venous insu ciency
(CVI), and venous ulcers. However, there has not been a
standard de nition of these categories. VV has been de ned
at di ering levels of visible disease severity. CVI has typically been de ned by skin changes and/or edema in the distal leg. Venous ulcers, both active and healed, have been
de ned by visible inspection and subjective inference as to
etiologic origin.
Two studies have now reported results on de ned
free-living populations with simultaneous assessment of
both visible abnormalities and functional impairment by
Duplex ultrasound.
Diego Population Study (SDPS) determined both obstruction and re ux, while the Edinburgh study determined
only the latter. e results were revealing in that to some
degree the validity of both the assumptions of earlier population studies and of the CEAP classi cation, at least as
applied to population samples, were brought into question.
Speci cally, the general concept that visible disease necessarily implied underlying functional disease, and vice versa,
was true in the large majority of a ected limbs, but not
universallyso.

Although these discrepancies occurred in a minority of
cases, they were frequent enough to lead us to separately classify visible and functional CPVD in each limb evaluated in
the SDPS. Speci cally, we classi ed each limb into four visible categories:normal, telangiectasias/spider veins (TSV),
VV, and trophic changes (TCS); the latter category being
one or more of hyperpigmentation, lipodermatosclerosis,
or active or healed ulcer. e presence or absence of edema
was not by itself a criterion for TCS. For functional disease,
we determined the presence of obstruction and re ux separately for the super cial, perforating, and deep systems. e
presence of either re ux or obstruction in super cial or deep
veins was categorized as functional disease, and because of
small numbers, abnormalities of the perforating veins were
considered as deep disease. ree functional categories were
de ned:normal, super cial functional disease (SFD), and
deep functional disease (DFD). Here, the term “functional”
is essentially interchangeable with “anatomic.” Also, in this
population study, obstruction was uncommon and virtually
all legs with obstruction also had re ux, such that SFD and
DFD essentially refer to re ux.
In addition to separately assessing edema, we asked
about a history of super cial venous thrombosis (SVT) and
deep venous thrombosis (DVT), with or without pulmonary embolism.
Table 3.1 shows the prevalence of various manifestations of CPVD in the SDPS by age, gender, and ethnicity.
Speci cally, prevalence rates are given for TSV, VV, TCS,
SFD, DFD, edema on physical examination, and SVT and
D V T b y h i s t o r y .
AGE ANDCVPD
Using mutually exclusive categories for both visible and
functional CVPD, we found a graded relationship with
increasing age for VV, with those aged 70–79years having
nearly twice the prevalence of those aged 40–49years. TSV
also increased with age, but this di erence was obscured by
the mutually exclusive categories, with increasing numbers
