Abstract:
Chronic venous insufficiency due to deep vein incompetence (DVI) is difficult to treat and is prone for failure and recurrence of venous ulcers. A variety of techniques have been tried to create valve competency but majority of them have been difficult to perform and have not shown long term results. Opie reported a technique for construction of a monocusp neo valve. We have modified this procedure and successfully corrected the deep vein reflux in a patient with primary DVI.MethodsMonocusp valve was created by folding the vein wall flap so that both sides of the valve will have intimal surface.ResultPatient had excellent symptomatic improvement. The venous ulcer healed with skin grafting and had not recurred at 30 months follow up. Descending venogram and duplex scan showed mild reflux.ConclusionMonocusp neo valve creation for primary DVI is a simple procedure with good long-term result.
