[Connection of perforating and intramuscular veins of the crus in varicosity].

Aim: This study was undertaken to investigate the clinical anatomy of indirect perforating veins and their connection to the intramuscular venous collector of the crus by means of MSCT phlebography.

Patients And Methods: From 2015 till now, MSCT phlebography was used to examine a total of 400 patients with chronic diseases of lower limb veins. According to the CEAP classification, clinical class C0-C1 was present in 108 (27%) subjects, C2-C3 - in 173 (43.

[A device for endoluminal thermal obliteration of varicose veins].

Amongst the techniques of endoluminal thermal obliteration of varicose veins, the most commonly employed treatment modalities are endovasal radiofrequency ablation and endovasal laser obliteration, both using a generating source and a special device for carrying out thermal obliteration. It has been noted that each of the methods of thermal obliteration has a number of disadvantages, irrespective of using the energy of magnetic oscillations in a radiofrequency range or laser radiation, including high cost of expendable materials and equipment. The device we worked out for endoluminal thermal obliteration of varicose veins was based on the principle of high efficacy and safety, with a significant decrease in the cost of carrying out the manipulation.

[A new-type device for endovasal laser obliteration of varicose veins].

The purpose of the study was to work out a Russian-made, simple-to-manufacture, safe, inexpensive and efficient device for performing endovasal laser obliteration (EVLO) of varicose veins, with the underlying principle of endoluminal distribution of the total laser energy into several flows. The development of this device was based on the principle of dividing the total laser radiation into two energy flows. One flow has a shape of circularly formed, continuous field of laser radiation of specified width within the angular range from 50 to 90°, which ensures the main energetic contribution to thermal impact on the vascular wall.
