The anterior accessory saphenous vein is a special anterior tributary of the great saphenous vein (GSV), draining the antero-lateral face of the thigh. It becomes very often insufficient, causing important varicose veins with an autonomous course and often is …

minology of the anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV). Although use of the word “accessory” implies that the vein is a superficial tributary, its anatomic fea-tures, accepted treatment approaches, and clinical out-comes after treatment clearly support its role as a truncal vein, similar to the great and small saphenous

The decision to treat a refluxing anterior saphenous vein (ASV) should be a clinical decision based on the assessment on the ASV’s contribution to patient’s signs and symptoms. Once the decision to treat has been made, there are anatomic, clinical, and technical considerations in treatment planning.

2024年3月20日 · The term Anterior Accessory of the Great Saphenous Vein suggests this is a branch tributary vein despite this vessel’s anatomic features of a truncal vein. A multisocietal group suggested to designate this the anterior saphenous vein (ASV). This study was aimed to evaluate its ultrasound anatomy in normal and varicose limbs.

The anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) is not only a tributary of the saphenofemoral junction, but it is one of the saphenous trunks, situated in its own saphenous compartment in the thigh, lateral to the great saphenous vein (GSV). Incompetence of the AASV, often without GSV incompetence, is found in about 10% of limbs with varicose veins.

Identifying the truncal saphenous vein responsible for a patient’s symptoms helps determine the primary routes of venous reflux, allowing a more targeted and effective treatment strategy.

2023年11月23日 · Properly identifying the AASV’s role as a truncal vein is essential in developing a targeted and effective long-term intervention plan. Precise diagnosis and treatment planning ensure that interventions are appropriately targeted and resources are efficiently utilized.

The anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) often bothers the patients due to its meandering appearance on the ventral aspect of the thigh. Anatomic variations of the normal vein influence the hemodynamic of varicose disease, as well as the clinics and should be known and considered when treating a patient. This is exposed in two clinical cases.

Properly identifying the AASV’s role as a truncal vein is essential in developing a targeted and ef-fective long-term intervention plan. Precise diagnosis and treatment planning ensure that interventions are appropri-ately targeted and resources are efciently utilized. Mis-

2022年7月7日 · The anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) is a common source of primary and recurrent lower extremity varicose veins. Reflux in the AASV can occur independently or simultaneously with great saphenous vein (GSV) reflux.
