1 1 Ruling out deep venous obstruction prior to superficial vein treatment Deepak Sudheendra, MD, RPVI Assistant Professor of Clinical Radiology & Surgery Disclosures No financial disclosures Indications for saphenous vein ablation (SVA) Leg pain and swelling Symptomatic varicosities Lipodermatosclerosis Venous stasis ulcers Page 1
2 Contraindications for SVA Saphenous vein thrombus (i.e. SVT) Deep vein obstruction Sciatic vein reflux Hypercoagulable state Raju S, Easterwood, L, Founrain T, et al.

5 1 month 10 months 3 years Conclusions Saphenous vein closure can be done in patients with a prior history of DVT only AFTER a thorough evaluation of the deep venous system has been performed. Always open deep venous system (especially iliac veins) prior to superficial venous ablation If deep venous procedures are not offered in your practice, team up with a vascular specialist who has expertise in complex deep venous disease and post thrombotic syndrome Thank You Deepak Sudheendra, MD, RPVI Deepak.Sudheendra@uphs.upenn.edu Patient Education Venous Blog Page 5 5

12 Tributary vein recurrence Persistent Never treated Possibly progressed Recurrent New pathway of recurrence Tributary reflux Often not treated Only ablation is done Not really a recurrence Anterior accessory saphenous vein ablation alone Pre-treatment New GSV reflux: re-pressurizes VV 7
13 Incompetent perforating vein Persistent untreated pathway Progressive disease Recurrent IPV derived varicose veins after sclerotherapy or microphlebectomy Pre-treatment Early post-treatment Late post-treatment Other Veins 8
14 Neovessels Neovessels at SFJ (or SPJ) Varicose veins Fill directly Remnant saphenous segments Fill directly or via varicose veins Source of lower varicose veins Neovessels Useful to find these remnant segments Careful DUS over the entire length of treated veins Target for treatment Neovessels Treatment of outflow of neovessel pathway Neovessels Often get smaller May no longer reflux May not need to be treated 9
15 Neovessels without prior surgery Lymph node Occasionally see varicose vein networks near the SFJ Often involve pathways passing through lymph nodes Usually these are small veins May enlarge in multiparous women Lymphoganglionic venous network connect GSV/AA GSV with Junctional veins CFV and FV Tributary veins Lymphovenous network reflux Can cause Subterminal GSV or AA GSV reflux Peri-saphenous VV Direct varicose vein filling near groin Lymph nodes are often seen in some cases of post-sfj ligation neovessel pathways Neovessels lead to saphenous space and then to visible lower varicose veins In the GSV space after GSV ablation In GSV space In the AA GSV space 10

20 Treating Venous Disease in the Setting of Active Ulcers Anne Giuliano MD, CWSP, RVPI Medical Imaging Associates Billings MT Disclosures None Venous Leg Ulcers More than 2 million people affected annually in the US. VLU account for 70-90% of lower leg ulcers. Up to 1/3 of treated patients experience 4 or more episodes of recurrence. Total cost of care for patients with VLU is estimated at $15 billion annually. VLUs result in loss of 2 million work days annually. San C, et al. Human skin wounds: A major and snowballing threat to public health and the economy. WRR 2009: 17(6): Rice JB, et al.

22 SVS/AVF Guidelines DEFINITION VENOUS LEG ULCER Guideline 1.1: Venous Leg Ulcer Definition We suggest use of a standard definition of venous ulcer as an open skin lesion of the leg or foot that occurs in an area affected by venous hypertension. [BEST PRACTICE] SVS/AVF Guidelines COMPRESSION: Guideline 5.1: Compression Ulcer Healing In a patient with a venous leg ulcer, we recommend compression therapy over no compression therapy to increase venous leg ulcer healing rate. [GRADE - 1; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE - A] Guideline 5.2: Compression Ulcer Recurrence In a patient with a healed venous leg ulcer, we suggest compression therapy to decrease the risk of ulcer recurrence. [GRADE - 2; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE - B] Guideline 5.3: Multicomponent Compression Bandage We suggest the use of multicomponent compression bandage over single-component bandages for the treatment of venous leg ulcers. [GRADE - 2; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE - B] SVS/AVF Guidelines OPERATIVE/ENDOVASCULAR MANAGEMENT Guideline 6.1: Superficial Venous Reflux and Active Venous Leg Ulcer Ulcer Healing In a patient with a venous leg ulcer (C6) and incompetent superficial veins that have axial reflux directed to the bed of the ulcer, we suggest ablation of the incompetent veins in addition to standard compressive therapy to improve ulcer healing. [GRADE - 2; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE - C] Guideline 6.2: Superficial Venous Reflux and Active Venous Leg Ulcer Prevent Recurrence In a patient with a venous leg ulcer (C6) and incompetent superficial veins that have axial reflux directed to the bed of the ulcer, we recommend ablation of the incompetent veins in addition to standard compressive therapy to prevent recurrence. [GRADE - 1; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE - B] 3
23 SVS/AVF Guidelines PERFORATOR VEINS Guideline 6.5: Combined Superficial and Perforator Venous Reflux With or Without Deep Venous Reflux and Active Venous Leg Ulcer In a patient with a venous leg ulcer (C6) and incompetent superficial veins that have reflux to the ulcer bed in addition to pathologic perforating veins (outward flow of >500 ms duration, with a diameter of >3.5 mm) located beneath or associated with the ulcer bed, we suggest ablation of both the incompetent superficial veins and perforator veins in addition to standard compressive therapy to aid in ulcer healing and to prevent recurrence. [GRADE - 2; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE - C] Guideline 6.7: Pathologic Perforator Venous Reflux in the Absence of Superficial Venous Disease, With or Without Deep Venous Reflux, and a Healed or Active Venous Ulcer In a patient with isolated pathologic perforator veins (outward flow of >500 ms duration, with a diameter of >3.5 mm) located beneath or associated with the healed (C5) or active ulcer (C6) bed regardless of the status of the deep veins, we suggest ablation of the pathologic perforating veins in addition to standard compression therapy to aid in venous ulcer healing and to prevent recurrence. [GRADE - 2; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE - C] SVS/AVF Guidelines PROXIMAL OCCLUSION Guideline 6.14: Proximal Chronic Total Venous Occlusion/Severe Stenosis With Skin Changes at Risk for Venous Leg Ulcer (C4b), Healed (C5) or Active (C6) Venous Leg Ulcer Endovascular Repair In a patient with inferior vena cava or iliac vein chronic total occlusion or severe stenosis, with or without lower extremity deep venous reflux disease, that is associated with skin changes at risk for venous leg ulcer (C4b), healed venous leg ulcer (C5), or active venous leg ulcer (C6), we recommend venous angioplasty and stent recanalization in addition to standard compression therapy to aid in venous ulcer healing and to prevent recurrence. [GRADE - 1; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE - C] Guideline 6.15: Proximal Chronic Venous Occlusion/Severe Stenosis (Bilateral) With Recalcitrant Venous Ulcer Open Repair In a patient with inferior vena cava or iliac vein chronic occlusion or severe stenosis, with or without lower extremity deep venous reflux disease, that is associated with a recalcitrant venous leg ulcer and failed endovascular treatment, we suggest open surgical bypass with use of an externally supported expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft in addition to standard compression therapy to aid in venous leg ulcer healing and to prevent recurrence. [GRADE - 2; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE - C] SVS/AVF Guidelines IN SUMMARY: Treat the underlying problem. Treat as soon as reasonable. Do not wait for ulcer to heal to start therapy. 4
24 Literature Review Long term results of compression therapy alone versus compression plus surgery in chronic venous ulceration (ESCHAR): Randomized Controlled trial. Gohel et al, Bmj 2007;335: legs randomized to compression or compression plus saphenous surgery Ulcer healing at 3 years was 89% for compression group and 93% for intervention (P=.73) Ulcer recurrence at 4 years was 56% for compression and 31% for intervention group (P<0.01) Conclusion: Surgical intervention in addition to compression did not improve ulcer healing, but did reduce recurrence at 4 years. Literature Review Healing and Recurrence Rates Following Ultrasound-guided Foam Sclerotherapy of Superficial Venous Reflux in Patients with Chronic Venous Ulceration, Pang et al, European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 40:6: , 12/ consecutive patients underwent USGFS as part of their treatment for CVU Healing was observed in 82% at a median of 1 month following their first USGFS treatment 4.9% ulcer recurrence at 2 years Literature Review Endovenous Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins in Patient with Active Ulcers: Measurement of Intravenous and Perivenous Temperatures during the procedure, Viarengo et al, Dermatologic Surgery, 33:10: , 10/ patients with varicose veins and ulcers for more than 1 year divided into a compression group and EVL plus compression. Patients followed for 12 months At 12 months 24% of compression group healed vs. 81.5% of Laser group. Ulcer recurrence was zero in the laser group. 5
25 Urban Myth You don t treat the venous reflux till the ulcer is healed. How I Do It Upon presentation I asses for any arterial disease. If there is none, than I obtain venous reflux studies as well as evaluation of central pelvic veins if there is a history of ileofemoral DVT or my suspicion is high. I rely on standard wound care techniques to handle edema and possible infection. Once ulcers have quieted down, edema and infection are managed than I treat the underlying venous disease. Obstruction Reflux How I Do It I do not wait for ulcer healing to treat. This requires coordination with the wound care center for dressing changes I often do concurrent foam sclero at the time of ablation especially of the veins refluxing into the ulcer bed. I follow the patient up at the Wound Care Center. If there isn t rapid improvement in the ulcer in the following 2-3 weeks than I will reevaluate and treat residual disease as needed. 6
