Complex pathologies in a patient referred for varicose veins
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases, Innovations and Techniques(2023)
摘要
Varicose veins are commonly due to saphenous vein reflux, but they can manifest more complex venous pathologies. A 45-year-old woman presented with painful leg varicosities and pelvic pain. Duplex examination showed bilateral superficial venous reflux, and, on further interrogation, cross-sectional imaging demonstrated enlarged ovarian veins and nonthrombotic iliac vein compression. Ovarian vein embolization followed by iliac vein stenting and bilateral lower extremity venous ablations and sclerotherapy was performed. After 5 years, she reports no pelvic symptoms and minimal leg symptoms. This case highlights the complex interplay of these venous pathologies and their successful treatment.
