1 High Level Overview: Venous Anatomy of Lower Extremities Barbara Deusterman, RN What does this anatomy lecture have to do with visually guided sclerotherapy (VGS)? May 11, Anatomy of a Vein Almeida, Jose. Atlas Of Endovascular Venous Surgery. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier, Print. May 11,

2 Competent or normal valve Venous valves are bicuspid (two) flap like structures made of elastic tissue. The valves function to keep blood moving in one direction. May 11, Normal Flow Copyright 2009 by American College of Phlebology May 11, 2015 Illustration by Linda S. Nye 5 Flow Dynamics Deep Veins Perforating veins Large Superficial veins Tributary veins Reticular veins Venules Capillaries May 11,

3 What makes up the venous system? Deep venous system: the channel through which 90% of venous blood is pumped out of the legs Superficial venous system: the collecting system of veins Perforating veins: the conduits for blood to travel from the superficial to the deep veins Musculovenous pump: Contraction of foot and leg muscles pumps the blood through one way valves up and out of the legs May 11, Deep and Superficial System Location and Communication 4.pdf May 11, 2015 Almeida, Jose. Atlas Of Endovascular Venous Surgery. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier, Deep System Basics May 11,

4 Deep System Common Femoral Vein Deep Femoral Vein Femoral Vein Anterior Tibial Vein Popliteal Vein Posterior Tibial Vein Peroneal Vein Goldman et al: Sclerotherapy 4e 2007 Elsevier Inc.

7 May 11, 2015 Clemente Carmine, Anatomy, 3 rd Edition, 1987, Urban and Schwarzenberg, Figs. 460, How does the blood get back to the heart? May 11, Muscular Pumps Normal venous return requires a pump Muscle action send blood up the veins of the leg and competent valves prevent reflux/retrograde blood flow There are three muscular pumps in the legs Foot Calf Thigh May 11,

10 Where does Visually Guided Sclerotherapy fit in? May 11, Vein branching leading to the saphenous truncal veins include: Telangiectasias (also known as telangiectatic or spider veins) o Are flat red vessels on the skin s surface o 0.1 mm 1 mm in diameter Venulectasias (venules) o Are bluish vessels which may be distended above the skin o 1 2 mm in diameter Reticular veins (also known as feeder veins) o Have a cyanotic hue o 2 4 mm in diameter o Associated with telangiectasias Varicose veins o Have incompetent valves with increased venous pressure leading to progressive dilation and tortuosity of the vein walls 1. Primary varicose veins likely due to multiple factors such as hereditary, female sex hormones, obesity, pregnancy, or long episodes of standing (hydrostatic force) 2. Secondary varicose veins (less common) involves trauma, congenital absence of valves in vein walls, or obstruction May 11, Lateral Subdermal Plexus May 11,
