Abstract Background The elongation of the styloid process is historically associated with two variants Eagle syndrome. classic one, mainly characterized by pain and dysphagia, carotid variant sometimes cerebral ischemia. We observed a further coursing adjacent to transverse C1, causing significant compression internal jugular vein. Methods reviewed all cases syndrome, including variant, admitted in our Hospital last six years. compared symptomatology, comorbidities imaging. Data were...
Purpose: To evaluate if jugular vein flow restoration in various venographic defects indicative of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) multiple sclerosis (MS) patients can have positive effects on cerebral lesions identified using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: The Brave Dreams trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01371760) was a multicenter, randomized, parallel group, double-blind, sham-controlled to assess the efficacy venoplasty MS with CCSVI....
Objectives Acquiring central venous pressure (CVP), an important clinical parameter, requires invasive procedure, which poses risk to patients. The aim of the study was develop a non-invasive methodology for determining mean-CVP from ultrasound assessment jugular pulse. Methods In thirty-four adult patients (age = 60 ± 12 years; 10 males), CVP measured using catheter, with internal vein (IJV) cross-sectional area (CSA) variation along cardiac beat acquired ultrasound. resultant and IJV-CSA...
Objective Despite the fact that muscle pump activation is known to positively impact chronic lower limb edema, objective measurements of standardized exercises for venous-lymphatic rehab are lacking. The aim this investigation determine effectiveness an addressed physical activity exploiting advantages aquatic environment. Material and methods Thirty-two limbs 16 patients affected by bilateral leg swelling were included (12 females, 4 males). All underwent a protocol five sessions...
Vascular compression syndromes (VCS) are rare diseases, but they may cause significant symptoms interfering with the quality of life (QoL) patients who often in their younger age. Given infrequent occurrence, multiform clinical and anatomical presentation, absence dedicated guidelines from scientific societies, further knowledge these conditions is required to investigate treat them using modern imaging surgical (open or endovascular) techniques. This consensus document will focus on known...
ObjectiveTo determine the sex prevalence of lower limb varicose networks fed by reflux great saphenous vein (GSV), anterior accessory (AASV), and small singularly or in combination.MethodsWe scanned means same color Doppler ultrasound protocol 3000 limbs 1500 consecutive patients, affected symptomatic chronic venous insufficiency from 2013 to 2023. Limbs with normal function, incomplete scans, that were post-thrombotic syndrome, pelvic reflux, isolated perforator malformation,...
Background Recurrent varicose veins occur up to 80% of procedures. The sapheno-femoral junction can be involved in more than 50% cases. A detailed pathophysiological explanation the phenomenon is still missing. aim present work evaluate role femoral vein incompetence as risk factor for recurrence. Methods Three-hundred-eighty-one patients presenting an incompetent great saphenous system and eventually also tract (C2-6EpAsdPr) underwent a high ligation with flush tributaries along leg,...
Compliance is a characteristic of every deformable system. very clear concept in physics and mechanics but clinics, perhaps, not the same. However, veins compliance fits perfectly with function drainage venous Volumetric increase (dV) content correlated pressure (dP) inside vein according to equation C’= dV/dP. In humans 75% blood located system, primarily because molecular components media layer significantly more compliant that arteries. This property fundamental understanding change...
In humans the mechanism governing internal jugular vein (IJV) valve opening and closure is still unclear. M-mode used in echo-cardiology for heart valves assessment. Sometimes it was performed also deep peripheral veins vena cava assessment, but never IJV valve. Aim of present study to investigate physiology healthy volunteers, by means both B ultrasound. Eighty-three (83) volunteers (35 Male, 48 Female, 25.7±6.7 y.o.), a total 166 IJVs, were enrolled. The entire cohort underwent IJVs...
Mini-invasiveness, ease of use and execution speed represent the reasons for endovenous laser ablation success. Nevertheless, strategic choice remains saphenous trunk. Hemodynamic correction (CHIVA) represents an option, based on a saphenous-sparing therapeutic strategy. We tested feasibility modified CHIVA strategy by means lasers (EL) shrinkage segmental great vein (GSV) tracts, in networks characterized sapheno-femoral incompetence re-entry perforators focused GSV. report follow up first...
To assess if in chronic venous insufficiency, there is a seasonal variation of cytokines levels which could explain the typical worsening symptoms during Spring and Summer.From 193 insufficiency patients, we selected 32 patients clinical stage C2-C3 Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology classification.A prospective, comparative blinded assessment two different seasons.We sorted by homogenous groups, 17 Autumn Group 15 Group. A complete haemodynamic laboratory analysis 22 circulating were...
The aim of this study was to assess feasibility and efficacy an endovenous laser (EL) assisted saphenous-sparing strategy in chronic venous disease (CVD). Fourteen CVD patients (C2,3,4s Ep As Pr1,2,3) underwent a saphenofemoral junction (SFJ) treatment by EL just from below the superficial epigastric vein downward for limited tract, together with flush ligation incompetent tributaries great saphenous (GSV) along leg. following GSV parameters were assessed 15 cm SFJ: reflux time, caliber,...
