Deep venous reflux definitions and associated clinical and physiological significance
Lim KH, Hill G, Tarr G, van Rij A. J Vasc Surg: Venous and Lym Dis.2013;1:325-332. Classification validation as well as physiopathological significance of deep venous reflux (DVR) remains debated knowing that DVR is frequently combined with superficial venous reflux (SVR). Numerous key questions need to be answered. First, does segmental deep reflux have an impact on CVD or not? Second, does segmental reflux location matter? In other words, do isolated common femoral vein reflux or popliteal vein reflux have the same physiopathological importance in terms of clinical and hemodynamic anomalies? Third, does SVR suppression abolish or improve DVR segmental…
