title: [Venous diseases of the extremities--surgery and demands on radiology].
abstract: Surgery in the low-pressure system primarily means surgical treatment of varicosis. Reconstructive treatment is rather rare. That is the reason why for the radiologist phlebography is the most important method of examination in venous affections. The assessment of valve failures and the differing anatomy in the orifices of the major and minor saphenous vein show the high ranking of this examination from the surgeons point of view. No vascular surgeon would like to do without it.
