[Value of echo-marking in the surgical treatment of varicose veins (outside the CHIVA treatment)].
It is in fact only the cutaneous reflection of venous cartography established by echo-doppler investigation. The procedure is pre-surgical. Its chief value is the more accurate identification of hemodynamic and anatomical data, in particular when they are sub-clinical. Such data can then be actually used by surgeons, who are able to perform a procedure precisely suited to the individual patient. This greater accuracy enables the following aims to be achieved:--correction of all leak points;--excision of all pathological veins;--avoidance of any damage to healthy areas;--esthetic results;--prevention of recurrences, etc. However, it remains for angiologists and surgeons to evaluate and validate this method by prospective trials.
