Use of ultrasonic venography in the evaluation of venous valve function
Abstract:
Forty healthy limbs and 31 limbs with suspected deep venous insufficiency were imaged with real-time B-mode ultrasound to determine valve location, anatomic characteristics, and function. Valve function was evaluated by comparison with Doppler ultrasonographic techniques, and the data clearly indicated that ultrasonic venography accurately localized and determined the extent of deep venous reflux. Ascending contrast venography was performed in 15 postphlebitic limbs for assessment of valve location. The results indicate that ultrasonic venography is a more accurate method for visualization of valves in this group of patients. Therefore, ultrasonographic imaging is a valuable technique for evaluating limbs with chronic venous insufficiency.
