title: [Hemodynamic evaluation of the patient with microvarices].
abstract: The present study included 21 lower limbs with micro varicosities, 56 lower limbs with retrograde flow-varicosities (positive Rivlin) and 35 health lower limbs. Technics used for diagnosis were: Doppler ultrasonography and strain gauge plethysmography. We found a higher incidence of valvular failure on the varicose patients with retrograde flow (showing changes on their viscoelastic features of their venous walls). On the contrary, patient with microvaricosities showed an hemodynamics similar to the healty patient: we did not found any difference on the variables analyzed between the two groups. We conclude that the presence of microvaricosities has no influence on the analyzed hemodynamic parametres.
