Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care01:26

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

216
Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

Veins

Veins are an integral part of our circulatory system, serving as the blood vessels that transport blood from all body regions to the heart. They are a network of hollow tubes that carry blood low in oxygen from the body's cells back to the heart for reoxygenation. Veins are crucial for maintaining the body's overall fluid balance and the continuous circulation of blood.
Structure of Veins:
The structure of veins is specifically designed to assist in the low-pressure transportation of...

The azygos system is a crucial part of the body's circulatory system and drains most of the thorax. It comprises the azygos, hemiazygos, and accessory hemiazygos veins.
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.

The human body consists of an intricate network of veins responsible for the crucial task of blood drainage from the lower limbs. These veins can be categorized into two main types: deep veins and superficial veins.
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Imaging
  • Vascular Diseases

Background:

  • Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) is a common retinal vascular disorder.
  • Microvascular abnormalities are key features of BRVO.
  • Assessing these changes is crucial for understanding disease progression and visual outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize microvascular abnormalities using OCT-angiography in eyes with BRVO.
  • To quantify the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and capillary density.
  • To establish correlations between anatomical findings and visual function.

Main Methods:

  • Observational prospective study of 17 patients with unilateral BRVO.
  • Analysis of microvascular changes and capillary non-perfusion in deep and superficial capillary plexuses (DCP, SCP).
  • Measurement of FAZ area and capillary density using OCT-angiography and flow quantification software.

Main Results:

  • Cystoid macular edema was present in 82.4% of eyes, correlating with poor visual acuity.
  • Capillary non-perfusion was observed in 70.6% of eyes.
  • Enlargement of the FAZ was significantly correlated with visual loss (P=0.01).

Conclusions:

  • OCT-angiography is integral to diagnosing Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO).
  • FAZ area and capillary density measurements aid in predicting prognosis for BRVO patients.
  • This imaging technique provides valuable insights into the microvascular landscape of BRVO.
