The aim of the work: to establish the features of the ultrasonographic picture of the superficial venous system in varicose veins of the lower extremities in order to determine the tactical and technical measures to perform RFA in an outpatient setting.
Materials and Methods. The work is based on ultrasonographic data of 928 patients with clinical stage C2 – 391 patients; C3 – 216 patients; C4 – in 159 patients; C5 and C6, respectively, in 87 and 75 cases of observations performed before and after RFA. An ultrasonographic examination of the condition of the sapheno-femoral junction, anterior accessory superficial vein, and the diameter of the great saphenous vein was performed.
Results and Discussion. When performing ultrasonography one should pay attention to the individual anatomical features of a particular patient. In particular, the condition of the terminal and preterminal valve, the presence of reflux in the sapheno-femoral junction and in the anterior accessory superficial vein, the location of additional anterior tributaries of the great saphenous vein and their distance to the sapheno-femoral junction, the diameter of the great saphenous vein in the sapheno-femoral junction area, insufficiency of the sapheno-femoral junction and perforating veins.
