title: [Clinical aspects, diagnosis and treatment of ectasia of the deep veins of the lower extremities].
abstract: Ectasia of profound veins is a peculiar form of the venous insufficiency of lower extremities resulting in disturbed blood outflow. Ectasia may be congenital and acquired. In the latter case phlebectasia of profound veins may develop without phlebitis or as a result of it. The cardinal symptoms are bursting pains and edemas due to loads in the vertical posture. A reliable diagnosis of this disease can be made by means of angiography only. It is expedient to differentiate compensated and decompensated ectasia of profound veins. In the latter cases it is necessary to perform a resection of communicating veins in combination with fascioplasty and removal of subcutaneous veins. In compensated cases veinectomies might be sufficient but the patients should be given more strict recommendations.
