Surgical management

Thrombectomy- transvenous

Varicose veins

These are swollen,twisted

and sometimes painful veins that

have filled with an abnormal

collection of blood.

Causes

Hereditary

Thrombophelebitis

Risk factors

Prolonged standing

Obesity & distended belly

Pregnancy

Straining-chronic constipation,

urinary retention, chronic cough.

age

Page 32: DVT & VARICOSE VEINS. DVT It is the most common venous disorders result from incompetent valves in the veins and obstruction of venous return to the

PathophysiologyGenerally blood flow from the

superficial veins to the deep veins

To the large veins to the heart

Venous blood flow work against gravity

This is assisted by unidirectional intraluminal valves in the veins

Page 33: DVT & VARICOSE VEINS. DVT It is the most common venous disorders result from incompetent valves in the veins and obstruction of venous return to the

Cont…Activity causes intermittent compression of the veins by

muscles

Pressure increases in the vein valves

Incompetent valves

Valve failure

Page 34: DVT & VARICOSE VEINS. DVT It is the most common venous disorders result from incompetent valves in the veins and obstruction of venous return to the

Cont….

Veins become swollon and enlarged

Become hard & tortuous

Feeling of heaviness & pressure

Clinical manifestations

Aching ,heavy legsAppearance of spider veinsAnkle swellingBrownish blue shiny skin

discolourationRedness, dryness, itching of the

affected area

Cramps while standing

Bleeding during minor injuries

Hard swollon area

Whitened irregular scar like

patches in the ankles.

TREATMENT

Conservative

Elevation of legs

Regular exercises

Compression stockings

Anti inflammatory medications

Page 39: DVT & VARICOSE VEINS. DVT It is the most common venous disorders result from incompetent valves in the veins and obstruction of venous return to the

Cont….Active

Stripping - Removal of all or part of

the saphenous vein .

Endovascular laser surgery – uses a

laser to destroy the veins.

Radiofrequency ablation – heat to

destroy the affected veins.

Page 40: DVT & VARICOSE VEINS. DVT It is the most common venous disorders result from incompetent valves in the veins and obstruction of venous return to the

Cont…

Ligation – it is usually involved in an

incision at the groin .here they tied

saphenous vein to the femoral vein

just at the entrance of the incision.

Non surgical

Sclerotherapy - Injecting the chemical

inside the vein .

Sclerosant agent-polidocanal,

sclerodex.

Lasers – it is used in case of small

veins with vacosity.
