  • Title: [Superficial femoral vein valvuloplasty under direct angioscopic vision].

    Abstract:
    Superficial femoral vein valvuloplasty (SFV) under direct angioscopic vision without venotomy was designed and performed in 18 patients (20 limbs), suffering from primary SFV valve incompetence and the primary popliteal vein valve insufficiency. The indication of the operation is that the valves developed completely inborn, but with the effects of postnatal pathogenic factors, the leaflets prolapsed and became redundant, irregular diastema between leaflets emerged and the valve-ring dilated. The operation has several advantages: (1) Angioscopy confirms primary venous valve incompetence. (2) The technique precludes venotomy and valve exposure, reducing the rate of postoperative venous thrombosis. (3) The operation eliminates the blindness of kistner's external surgical technique, overcoming its empiricism. The initial clinic use of the technique has shown that it is of excellent short-term effect without complications.
