  • Title: [The saphenous clip].
    Author: Schadeck M, Becquemin JP.
    Journal: Phlebologie; 1989; 42(4):591-7. PubMed ID: 2696986.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the saphenous clip is to prevent two major factors in the course of varicose vein disease: the haemodynamic factor and the parietal factor, the latter being the cause of post-surgical recurrences. Positioning of the clip is only imaginable after thorough mapping of the sapheno-femoral junction by Doppler and ultrasonography. They offer a precise and selective surgical indication, preserving healthy vessels. The first results confirm its efficacy on these two essential factors. However, the reflux is not always controlled while recurrences are not always occurring after 4 years.
