The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
Three case reports of patients with the rare anomaly of agenesis of the iliac veins are presented. It is emphasised that full phlebographic investigation should be carried out in such patients before surgical treatment is considered. It is pointed out that surgical ablation may exacerbate the symptoms of leg swelling and varicose veins for which the patients seek advice.
