title: [Evaluation of an reference anatomo-clinical classification of varices of the lower limbs].
abstract: In order to set up a common and objective language for everyone, the authors have laid the foundation of anatomoclinical classification which can be used as a reference in the study of varicose veins in lower limbs. They are comparing a group of patients with varicose veins to a control group of healthy patients. The groups are classified in four stages according to the importance of the varicose pathology and the histological characteristics. The conclusion is the following: there is no parallelism between these four clinical stages and the histological characteristics. According to the authors, it is necessary to make a distinction between fibrous reaction veins and muscular wall veins. This phenomenon is reported to have particular therapeutic implications in the prescription of substances of exciting venous tonicity.
