[Clinico-roentgenological parallels in congenital hypoplasia of the deep veins of the limbs].
The authors report  the results of clinical and phlebographic investigations in 34 patients with congenital hypoplasia of profound veins of the extremities. The specific weight of this lesion among phlebological patients was 2.7%. An extreme degree of aplasia--the total absence of deep crural and femoral veins was diagnosed in 4 cases, arteriovenous fistulas--in 14. The studies performed allowed wider indications to operative treatment employed in 21 cases. It was accomplished with the purpose to unload the lower limb venous system (ligation of arterio-venous fistulas, excision of angiomas and varices, ligation of communicant veins). These interventions improve considerably the patients' state and prevent a progression of the disease. However, they are but of a palliative character.
