Background: Vascular ultrasonography (VU) is the examination of choice for studying the superficial venous system of the lower limbs and using VU to measure the diameters of saphenous veins could provide parameters for planning surgery.
Objectives: To employ VU to identify the diameters of great saphenous veins free from reflux in women and determine their relationships with age, height, CEAP classification, and body mass index (BMI).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in women with symptoms of primary chronic venous insufficiency (CEAP C0, 1, or 2) with no previous varicose vein surgery and no reflux detected by VU.
