Summary

A novel autogenous valve reconstruction technique using the greater saphenous vein shows promise for treating deep vein reflux. This simple method creates a competent bicuspid valve, offering a potential new treatment for post-thrombotic syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Venous Disease

Background:

  • Post-thrombotic reflux in deep lower extremity veins is a significant clinical challenge.
  • Current treatments like in situ valvuloplasty are limited by valve degeneration, and alternatives such as transplantation or transposition have controversial outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel autogenous valve reconstruction technique for treating deep vein reflux.
  • To assess the feasibility and initial efficacy of this new technique in patients with post-thrombotic syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an autogenous valve reconstruction technique using the proximal greater saphenous vein, invaginated and fixed into the femoral vein.
  • Performed 20 valve reconstruction procedures in 19 patients at the femorosaphenous junction.

  • Mean follow-up duration was 10 months.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique successfully created a competent bicuspid valve in most cases.
    • All reconstructed femoral veins remained patent, with one showing mild reflux due to insufficient valve size.
    • No complications were observed during the follow-up period.

    Conclusions:

    • The described autogenous valve reconstruction technique is a simple and potentially effective method for addressing deep vein reflux.
    • Further long-term follow-up is necessary to confirm the durability and efficacy of this innovative procedure.
