Varicose Veins Assessment and Management by amoody95 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
You examine Mrs. Chung, a 40-year-old woman with varicose veins. She has a 10-year history of visible leg veins that worsened with pregnancies. On examination, you see full-length varicose veins affecting the long saphenous veins of both legs. You perform tests to localize the incompetent valves, finding sapheno-femoral incompetence. You explain to her that this is caused by a failed valve at the junction of the saphenous vein and femoral vein in the groin, resulting in reverse blood flow and high pressure
