Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Phlebology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Primary varicose veins can affect the lateral thigh.
  • These superficial veins may have connections to the deep venous system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the phlebographic findings of primary varicose veins on the lateral aspect of the thigh.
  • To elucidate their connection to the deep femoral vein.

Main Methods:

  • Phlebography and varicography were used in nine patients.
  • Detailed imaging of the venous anatomy was performed.

Main Results:

  • Varicose veins on the lateral thigh primarily connect to the deep femoral vein.
  • Communicating veins were identified as the primary link.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical options include subfascial ligation, sclerosis, or flush ligation of incompetent communicating veins.
  • Treatment aims to address cosmetic concerns or mild thigh aching.
