[Diagnosis and treatment of dilatation of subcutaneous veins of the lower limbs, caused by compression of the external iliac vein].
400 patients with venous varicosity of the lower limbs were studied using functional tests: phlebotonometry and combined methods of phlebography. It was found that in 43.3% of investigations valves of profound veins were partially or totally insufficient. Among subjects with valve insufficiency in 55 cases venous varicosity was conditioned by extravasal compression of the external iliac vein. The causes of compression of the latter were a cross-passing artery, fibrofascial bands and a drooping edge of the inguinal ligament. Retrograde femoropelvic phlebography in a bending posture of a patient and comparative phlebotonometry of the femoral and iliac veins proved to be the basic methods of diagnosis of a true cause of the varicosity.
