Ultrasonographic measurement of saphenous vein diameter compared to CEAP classification in patients with varicose veins.

Introduction And Objective: Ultrasound of the saphenous vein and measurement of the vein diameter may have a role in determining the severity of varicose veins. This study aimed to compare the saphenous vein diameter with the CEAP classification, as the reference standard in determining the severity of chronic venous diseases, in patients with lower limbs varicose veins free from saphenous vein reflux.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 patients with lower limbs varicose veins (saphenous vein) and free from saphenous vein reflux were enrolled.
