[Phlebography of the lower limb (author's transl)]
Abstract:
Description of the techniques of ascending phlebography and retrograde pressure phlebography of the leg and of means of showing insufficient perforating veins with selective percutaneous or intra-operative injection of contrast-media. Misinterpretation of the deep veins owing to muscular contraction for insufficiently continuous filling is explained. Phlebographic diagnosis of recent phlebothromboses, taking into accout isotope diagnosis, is particularly important for the recognition of post-traumatic so-called masked thromboses. The effectiveness of phlebography for the clarification of neurosegmental angiomatoses is discussed.

Preparation:
Arteries of Lower Limbs
Veins of Upper Limbs
The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...
Veins of Lower Limbs
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 knee,...

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
