Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Phlebology
  • Venous Insufficiency

Context:

  • Deep vein valve dysfunction can lead to superficial venous hypertension.
  • Trophic disorders, including dermatosclerosis and ulcer formation, are common complications.
  • Existing treatments often lack simplicity or causal efficacy.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate an original surgical treatment for deep vein valve dysfunction.
  • To present clinical results and surgical experience with the Psathakis method.
  • To address criticisms regarding the method's scientific validation.

Summary:

  • The Psathakis surgical method involves placing a silicone strip between the femoral vein and superficial femoral artery.
  • This atraumatic procedure aims to improve venous function without altering normal anatomy.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The study reports on the application of this technique in approximately 200 patients.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a simple, atraumatic surgical option for venous insufficiency.
    • Offers an alternative treatment for patients with trophic disorders due to venous hypertension.
    • Contributes clinical data to support or refute the efficacy of the Psathakis method.
