  • Title: [Morphologic studies of the conductive veins of the leg in superficial varicose veins].
    Author: Fuchs U, Petter O.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1990 Feb 15; 45(4):121-3. PubMed ID: 2360363.
    Abstract:
    Issuing from the thesis of Fischer and Siebrecht that the epifascial varicosis can be accompanied by an insufficiency of the conducting and muscle veins for the first time morphological investigations on the profound venous system were carried out with the questioning whether the non-thrombotic insufficiency of the profound conducting veins of the leg an adequate morphological correlate is underlying which is to be recognized and proved histologically. On the basis of this first pilot study can be shown that similar forms of reaction take place in the part of the superficial and profound veins which are free from varices. Hitherto it is still unclear which factors are leading for the causes in the pathological mosaic. The insufficiency of the conducting veins, age-conditioned and functional changes and the arteriosclerotic venopathy are discussed. The conception of the insufficiency of the conducting veins also in the field of morphological research proves to be the initiator of exact and further analyses.
