- This indicates the presence of venous reflux and the vein is defined incompetent (venous incompetency). (ukveinclinic.com)
- The pulsed wave Doppler is another ultrasound function that allows to confirm direction of venous flow, confirm venous reflux and its duration and suggest any possible proximal problem of the abdominal veins. (ukveinclinic.com)
- By integrating all the information obtained from the different ultrasound modalities, the vascular sonographer can produce a map of the venous reflux and varicose veins distribution and produce a diagram that the vascular surgeon will use as a guide for planning the best treatment for the patient. (ukveinclinic.com)
- But blood will not reflux back because veins have valves that prevent blood backflow. (medfog.com)
Lower limb2
- There are some situation where a detailed examination of the abdominal veins needs to be carried out, depending on the findings of the lower limb venous scan. (ukveinclinic.com)
- Pregnancy -The pregnant state is accompanied with the release of progesterone hormone which brings dilatation and relaxation of the veins of the lower limb (most common in the first trimester of pregnancy). (drvikram.com)
Muscular fascia1
- These veins can communicate between them via the perforator veins (small veins that pierce the muscular fascia). (ukveinclinic.com)
Dorsal1
- The inferior vena cava may lie ventral instead of dorsal to the right internal spermatic artery, in which case the lower part of the vessel has been derived from the subcardinal vein instead of (Johnston, Journ. (co.ma)
Camper's1
- What is Camper's fascia? (riunitedformarriage.org)
Axillary vein1
- All these veins may play an important role in supplying collateral flow in the presence of subclavian and axillary vein thrombosis. (vumc.org)
Superficial venous system1
- Skin breakdown or ulceration caused by VARICOSE VEINS in which there is too much hydrostatic pressure in the superficial venous system of the leg. (lookformedical.com)
Endovenous Ablation1
- Early results of an Asian prospective multicenter VenaSeal real-world postmarket evaluation to investigate the efficacy and safety of cyanoacrylate endovenous ablation for varicose veins. (saphenion.de)
Inferior4
- Occasionally the inferior vena cava does not terminate in the right atrium, but is continuous with the vena azygos, which is much enlarged, all the inferior caval blood being then carried In such cases the hepatic veins open directly into the right atrium to the superior vena cava. (co.ma)
- Two or three lumbar veins of one or both sides may unite into a common trunk which terminates in the inferior vena cava, and the hepatic veins may open separately, or after fusing into a common trunk, into the right atrium near the opening of the inferior vena cava. (co.ma)
- the inferior mesenteric vein empties into the splenic vein, the superior mesenteric vein joins the splenic vein to form the portal vein. (lookformedical.com)
- 64. The superior and inferior caval veins. (edu.pl)
Subclavian vein1
- The left internal jugular vein, which is usually smaller in caliber than the right internal jugular vein, crosses the common carotid artery before joining the left subclavian vein to form the left innominate vein, which then crosses the innominate artery to form, together with the right innominate vein, the superior vena cava. (vumc.org)
Anatomical1
- In the field of comparative anatomy of the forelimb veins of primates, in addition to the general anatomical descriptions, we found only a few studies on the distribution of perforating veins and venous valves in the upper limbs [ 1 ]. (hindawi.com)
