title: [Phlebographic observations on the morphology and function of the femoral vein and its valves].
abstract: The morphology and function of the femoral vein and its valves in normal and abnormal groups were analysed and compared in 334 cases (414 lower limbs) by ascending and descending phlebography. The diagnostic criteria were established in the normal and abnormal femoral vein and its valves using statistical analysis. Three types of the femoral valvular incompetence were proposed and the value of ascending and descending phlebography in the diagnosis of femoral valves was discussed.
