Unlabelled: Venous varicose are one of the most common diseases in industrial countries today. New surgical strategies, tailored to a patient's specific pattern of venous incompetence require more detailed preoperative imaging.
Methods: In this review of current literature we analyzed the value of ascending venography, color coded duplex sonography and descending venography for preoperative planning of varicose surgery. On the other hand, we describe variant anatomy of the superficial venous system like the different levels of escape points and perforating veins.
Results: Ascending venography and color coded duplex sonography are both excellent modalities for detection of reflux in the saphenofemoral and saphenopopliteal junction. The results of current literature indicate, that ascending venography is superior to color coded duplex sonography in the detection of incompetent perforators.
Conclusions: Ascending venography and color coded duplex sonography provide improved information, that may be crucial for surgical planning. The high heterogeneity and broad distribution of valvular incompetence confirms the importance of detailed preoperative imaging.

Three main portal veins: A very rare case of portal vein anomaly.
J Clin Imaging Sci
October 2024
Department of Radiology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University (The First People's Hospital of Zunyi), Zunyi, China.
Article Synopsis
- The case describes a rare portal vein (PV) anomaly during embryonic development, specifically highlighting the presence of three distinct portal veins identified through CT venography.
- The anatomical structure involves the superior and inferior mesenteric veins forming a trunk that splits into one vein entering the liver and another joining the splenic vein, which further divides into two branches entering the liver.
- This report emphasizes the significance of understanding PV anatomy for surgical planning, as such duplications are extremely rare and can inform better clinical practices among healthcare professionals.
Left-Sided Inferior Vena Cava: A Retrospective Study and Literature Review.

Department of Vascular surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- - The research examines the clinical and pathological aspects of the left-sided inferior vena cava (LIVC) through a study of 30 patients, aiming to compile useful diagnostic and treatment references.
- - Most patients with LIVC were asymptomatic and detected incidentally during scans for other issues; CT imaging revealed unique anatomical configurations including the right common iliac vein and variations leading to a complete absence of the hepatic segment in some cases.
- - Although primarily asymptomatic, understanding LIVC's anatomical variations is crucial for safe abdominal surgeries and vascular procedures to improve patient outcomes.

Left-sided portal hypertension (LSPH) causes varices and splenomegaly due to splenic vein issues. Colonic varices are rare and lack standardized treatment. We report the successful treatment of colonic varices caused by LSPH, by addressing both the afferent and efferent veins.

Aim: To compare 1-year outcomes of computed tomography venography (CTV) combined with ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatment with ascending phlebography and ultrasound-guided treatment for recurrent varicose veins.
Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients with unilateral recurrent varicose veins were matched by gender, age, C classification, and degree of obesity, and randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either CTV (CTV group) or ascending phlebography (control group) combined with ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatment. Patients were followed up by clinical and ultrasound examination.
