Great saphenous vein diameter at different regions and its relation to reflux

Background Great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence is involved in most cases of varicose disease. Standard preinterventional assessment is required to decide the treatment modalities. GSV diameter was measured at saphenofemoral junction, proximal thigh, distal thigh, knee, proximal leg, and distal l...

GSV diameter was measured at saphenofemoral junction, proximal thigh, distal thigh, knee, proximal leg, and distal leg.

GSV diameter was measured at the saphenofemoral junction, the proximal thigh, the distal thigh, below the knee, and mid-leg and correlated with reflux. Results Reflux in the sapheno-femoral junction (SFJ) (group I) occurred at 7.16±2.30 mm, proximal thigh (group II) at 6.60±1.89 mm, distal thigh (group III a) at 6.12±1.63 mm, knee (group III b) at 5.78±1.60 mm, proximal leg (group IV) at 4.61.24 mm, and mid leg (group V) at 3.59±1.16 mm.
