Fig. 1.7 The sural
nerve pedicle. Left:
drawing of the sural
nerve pedicle. The
“common” sural nerve
(1) is formed at the apex
of the calf (wire arrow)
by the medial branch (2)
coming from the tibial
nerve (T) and the lateral
one (3) coming from the
common bular nerve.
The inter-gastrocnemial
vein or vein of the sural
nerve (4) is located just
below the deep fascia of
the SSV (7) next to the
small saphenous artery
(5). Please notice the
vicinity of the tibial (T)
and medial
gastrocnemial nerve (9)
close to the arch of the
SSV (7). 8 = popliteal

Origin: Begins by three roots below the anterior part of the tibial malleolar area with (Figs.1.9
and 1.14):
– The medial marginal vein of the foot
– The inframalleolar perforator
– The dorsal communicating vein of the foot
joining the anterior tibial veins
The termination of the GSV (arch or French
“crosse”) is always located in the inguinal crease.
Complex connections exist at the root of the
thigh; each of them could be the leak point of a
truncal reux of the GSV at the thigh level
(Fig.1.10): medially, with the pudendal and perineal network [1–3], upward with the tributaries
of the abdominal wall (b) or iliac area (a), and
downward with the Giacomini vein (f) and the
posterior accessory saphenous vein (g).
A number of variations of these tributaries
have been described, but the important point is
the presence of a constant segment delimited
by the two last valves of the GSV termination:
the terminal valve (close to the saphenous

femoral junction or ostium) and the preterminal valve, located 15–25mm below. All tributaries of the GSV end into this intervalvular
segment.
Anatomy and hemodynamics of this intervalvular segment are mostly important to be
checked. This could be assessed by duplex
between the terminal reux (Fig. 1.11) and the
preterminal one (Fig.1.12) [12, 13].
1.3.4 The Anterior Accessory Great
Saphenous Vein (AAGSV)
Its origin is usually made by lateral branches of
the knee or of the lateral leg. The AAGSV then
crosses the anterior aspect of the thigh to join
the inguinal area. Located subcutaneously, it
goes through the fascia 10–12 cm below the
inguinal fold, located here inside its own

saphenous compartment. It is differentiated
from the GSV by the alignment sign: the vein
is located in the same sagittal axis of the femoral vein.
1.4 The Perforators Veins
The perforator veins join the supercial to the
deep system. The theory of the hemodynamical
levels [14] explains their location always at the
same level, according to the anatomy of the muscular veins.
In fact, the muscular veins are mostly important for hemodynamics: they constitute the active
part of the deep system because of their aspiration power on the supercial system via the
perforators.
For efcacy reasons, the perforators have a
relatively xed location just in front of the muscular veins in order to optimize the venous drainage. This explains the constancy of their
anatomical pattern. These anatomical considerations are useful for the investigators in daily
practice. The Atlas book of Gillot [2] shows their
average location according to the tibia’s length
(Fig.1.13).
In practice, the PVs are not single and straight
connections from the deep to the supercial system: they are frequently plexus shaped dividing
into several tortuous branches and connected
with the muscular veins (Fig.1.13). These connections also make truly subfascial interperforator anastomoses which are probably
responsible for the high recurrence rate after surgical treatment, as reported in a 3 years follow-up
study [15].

It is important to highlight the role of the
lymph node perforators of the groin.
The lymph node venous networks of the groin
(LNVN) are characterized by three features:
– Their trans-nodal route
– Their network shape connections with the
GSV and mostly the AAGSV
– The existence of direct perforators that join
the common femoral vein by [16]
They should be checked during any assessment of CVD patients. They can be found, thin
and competent, in any healthy individual. They
could be seen in primary CVD, but are more
commonly found in REVAS following groin
surgery, and are associated with multiple sinuous
neovascular channels. Their presence is an absolute contraindication for any surgical approach of
the groin:
(IPT) 10–15cm, inferior paratibial (IPT), superior paratibial (SPT). The groups of the calf PV: polar (Po) posterior
(Pt), central (Ce), and anterior (Ga)
Echo-guided sclerotherapy is recommended.
1.5 The Deep Venous System
Is located by denition below the muscular fascia, including two parts:
1.5.1 The Deep Venous Trunks
Begin at the foot with the foot pump located in
the plantar veins [17].
The lateral plantar veins are bigger and join
the plexus-shaped medial plantar at the calcaneus
plexus. This originates the two posterior tibial
veins (Fig.1.9). These veins are commonly mak-
ing a network at the lower part of the leg
(Figs. 1.14 and 1.15), which is a mechanism
against reux.

Dorsally, the anterior tibial veins come from
an anastomosis with the submalleolar perforator.
Laterally, the two bular veins are small veins
running upward inside the brous bula’s canal
at the lower part of the leg. They become bigger
veins above the arcade of the hallux exor longus
after receiving the huge lateral veins of the soleus
muscle (Fig.1.16).
The popliteal vein is formed by two roots [14,
18]: lateral one coming from the bular and
medial from the posterior tibial. They could join
at different levels and so receive the anterior tibial veins in different ways as shown on the
Fig.1.17. Up to the adductor arcade, the popliteal
vein becomes the femoral vein, usually coming
with a small collateral canal.

canal (dotted line): the upper limit of this brous and bony
canal is marked by the arcade of the hallux exor longus

The three main variations of the femoral vein
22]:
are [
– Modal type of a big femoral vein along the
artery and nerve inside the femoral canal.
– Unitruncular dispositive made of a big axial
vein draining into the deep femoral vein and
a hypoplastic femoral vein. (This axio-femo-
ral trunk is characterized by its particular
location, running vertically along the sciatic
nerve.)
– Bitruncular dispositive with both veins of sim-
ilar diameter.
The adductor canal (or Hunter’s canal) is a
narrowed area with rigid walls located at the
femoropopliteal junction. Its role in the venous
outlet syndrome is probably underestimated
[
23]. In clinical vascular practice, investiga-
tors should keep in mind that a duplex ultrasound at the precise level of the outlet
(11–13cm from the condyle) should be routine, checking for:

axial vein. Commonly, it will become hypoplastic, sciatic
arcade (SA) which is a small arcade in the adult. Please notice
the high connection with the hypogastric vein. In green the
deep femoral (DF), with its three perforators (P1, P2, P3). In
blue the modal femoral vein (FV) is dominant in the modal
anatomy. The persistence of a big axial vein is fed by the
ischiatic vein (IV) coming from the internal iliac vein (II)
According to embryology [19, 20, 21], with the
three venous axes (Fig.1.18), the femoral axis could
be distinguished into three dispositives (Fig.1.19).
1. A possible extrinsic compression of the
venous axis inside the canal
2. A dilatation of the derivative routes, particularly the venous arcades of the semimembranosus muscle (Fig.1.24).
1.5.2 The Muscular Veins
The muscular veins and the veno-muscular
pumps of the lower limb [20].

ischiatic nerve, connected to the pelvis by the inferior gluteal vein IG.In the case of the nonregression of the axial

The veins of the soleus are divided into two
parts. The lateral is the bigger; its huge veins
are draining vertically into the bular veins
above the arcade of the hallux exor longus.
The medial part is smaller, draining horizontally into the tibial posterior veins (Figs.1.20,
1.21, and 1.22).
The gastrocnemial veins include the medial
veins (bigger, in light blue) and the lateral ones.
For both muscles, the vascular pedicle is
emerging from the hilum and ends in the lateral
aspects of the popliteal vein (Fig.1.23). A com-
mon trunk of the medial veins with the SSV is
found in 30% of the cases.
Important point, the origin of the gastrocnemial veins takes place at the lower part of the
muscles from perforator veins by a terminoterminal connection.
