[Importance of Doppler ultrasound tomography in medical treatment of external saphenous veins].
Basing his study on his experience of the Doppler and of echotomography in everyday phlebological practice, the author examines the sclerosant treatment of symptomatic short saphenous veins, by measuring the reflux and morphology of this saphenofemoral junction. It would appear that the ectasia frequently encountered in the popliteus provide an ideal injection point which greatly reduces the risks associated with this injection. The results of this study are based on 100 short saphenous veins, and confirm the effectiveness of this method of treatment (95% success rate, whatever the calibre of the saphenous vein).
