Vein valve transplantation.
The vein valve transplantation has, in our experience, subjectively relieved symptoms in the majority of patients. More importantly, elevated venous pressure has been decreased in most patients. Thus, patients exhibiting signs of venous insufficiency syndrome as well as elevated venous pressure and proved valvular incompetence should be considered candidates for vein valve transplantation after an unsuccessful trial of medical management.
