title: Surgical reconstruction of incompetent deep vein valves.
abstract: Conventional treatment of deep venous insufficiency results in a rather high failure rate. The introduction of methods for surgical repair of incompetent deep vein valves has implied new possibilities for active treatment and has added increased knowledge to venous pathophysiology. This study summarizes our clinical experience with surgical reconstruction of deep vein valves during a nine-year period.
