Chapter 20: Venous valvular insufficiency testing Flashcards
(162 cards)
Superficial vein at the anterior thigh within a saphenous fascia
Anterior accessory great saphenous vein
Clinical etiologic anatomic pathophysiologic classification of venous disease
CEAP
Chronic venous insufficiency involving venous valvular malfunction; no obstructions
Chronic venous valvular insufficiency
Term describing the effects of increased pressure stockings that compresses the leg and its veins
Elastic compression
superficial vein in the medial calf, knee, and thigh within a saphenous fascia with variations in anatomy among patients
great saphenous vein (GSV)
leg swelling
leg edema
swelling attributed to fat tissue, most commonly painful
lipedema
swelling attributed to lymph channels or lymph node disorders
lymphedema
superficial veins exclusive of the saphenous systems. May originate from a gluteal, vulvular, posterolateral thigh-knee perforators, lower posterior thigh, popliteal fossa tributaries, and sciatic nerve vein source; also includes neovascularization
nonsaphenous veins
graphic presentation of waveforms that reflect temporary changes of regional venous volume
plethysmography
superior vein, posterior medial thigh within a saphenous fascia
posterior accessory great saphenous vein
abnormal reverse flow in veins with incompetent or absent valves
reflux
superficial dermal vein with diameter measuring less than 3 mm
reticular vein
term for telangiectasias, a small cluster of vessels at the skin surface that may be red, blue, or purple with diameters between 0.5 mm and 1 mm
spider vein
superficial vein in the posterior aspect of the calf within a saphenous fascia
small saphenous vein
a vein that terminates or empties into another; often truncal vein
tributary vein
superficial vein with diameter measuring 3 mm or greater
varicose vein
extension of SSV to GSV within a saphenous fascia
vein of Giacomini
vein diameter enlarged
valve sinuses enlarged
tortuosity, varicosities or venous aneursyms
B-mode ultrasound findings of CVVI
saphenous veins and tributaries retrograde flow >500 ms
deep veins retrograde flow > 1.0 s
perforating veins retrograde flow > 350 ms
Spectral Doppler ultrasound findings of CVVI
Retrograde color flow
turbulent or multiple color patterns seen within valve sinuses
Color-flow imaging
Patients presenting with CVVI do not have _____
venous obstruction
unceasing valvular insufficiency
due to valve damage
intermittent valvular insufficiency
function of venous dilatation
