Clinical efficient of encircling constriction of superficial femoral vein in the treatment of primary deep venous insufficiency on a report of 187 cases

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of encircling constriction of superficial femoral vein in the treatment of primary deep venous insuficiency(PDVI).Methods From Jan.2004 to Jun.2011,187 patients( 196 lower extremities)with primary deep venous insufficiency were treated with encircling constriction of venous wall at the first pair of superficial femoral venous valve pulse superficial varicose stripping.Results The 183 limbs in 176 patients were followed-up from 7 months to 8 years,with a mean period for 63.5 months.Ninety-four point one percent of the patients were followed up (176/187).Clinical symptomatic improvement achieved in 87.4％ ( 160/183 ) of the lower extremities.There was 2.2％ ( 4/183 ) of recurrence of the varicose vein,9.3％ ( 17/183 ) of light edema,8％ ( 2/25 ) of recurrence of ulcer.Conclusion Encircling constriction of superficial femoral vein is an effective method in the treatment of primary deep venous valve insufficiency.
