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 vein 6 = medial gastrocnemial pedicle.

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 reux 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 15–25mm 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 reux (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 supercial 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 supercial system via the perforators.
For efcacy 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 supercial 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) 10–15cm, 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 denition 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 reux.

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.
Fig. 1.16 The two bular veins go up into the bular 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 (11–13cm from the condyle) should be rou­tine, checking for:

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).

The muscular veins and the veno-muscular pumps of the lower limb [20].

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.
