Understanding Peripheral Vein Diseases: A Comprehensive Guide

By Yves Alimi, Olivier Hartung, and Vincent Crbassa

The prevalence of peripheral vein diseases (PVDs) in the general population is on the rise, particularly in the Western world, ranging from simple telangiectasias to debilitating ulcers. In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the exploration and treatment of PVDs, driven in part by patient advocacy and the recognition of the complexity of this pathology.

The evolution of techniques and treatments has led to the development of more effective and minimally invasive procedures, such as Doppler ultrasound, phlebo-scanner, and endovenous ultrasound. Additionally, new physio-pathological rules have been established, enabling the development of modern and efficient treatments, mostly percutaneous.

This comprehensive guide is divided into five main parts, covering:

• Essential data common to various techniques, including anatomical variations, choice of Doppler mode, and anesthesia options.
• Treatment of superficial venous insufficiency in lower limbs, including laser, radiofrequency, sclerotherapy, and surgery.
• Deep venous pathology of the abdomen and lower limbs, featuring stents, ilio-caval stenting, endophlebectomies, and valvular repairs.
• Venous insufficiency of the upper limbs, including thoraco-brachial syndrome and superior vena cava syndrome.
• Other peripheral lesions, such as venous tumors, erectile dysfunction, malformations, and vascular trauma.

Written with the collaboration of leading French-speaking specialists, this book presents the currently validated techniques by Scientific Societies and provides recognized complications and results. It is particularly intended for vascular surgeons, radiologists, cardiologists, and physicians seeking to deepen their knowledge of venous exploration and treatment techniques or initiate therapeutic experiences.
