Introduction. It seems relevant to study the ultrasound anatomy and physiology of the proximal valve segments of the superficial femoral vein (SFV) and the great saphenous vein (GSV) to develop effective reconstructive surgical interventions on venous valves in chronic vein diseases.The aim of the survey was to study the ultrasound anatomy of the venous wall, the size and shape of the proximal SFV and GSV valves are normal at rest and during the functional test Valsalva.Material and methods. Proximal valve SFV studies were performed in 144 lower limbs in 115 people (mean age 51.1 ± 14.4 years, 60 women and 55 men), proximal GSV valves studies - in 82 lower limbs in 67 persons (average age 45, 1 ± 13.3 years, 33 women, 34 men). A longitudinal and transverse ultrasound scanning of the femoral vein bifurcation and safenofemoral junction areas were performed, the structures of the proximal SFV and GSV valves were visualized, the valve shape was measured and the diameter of the veins was measured at the level valves at the base of the valves (inlet diameter), at the point of maximum ectasia (diameter of ectasia), at the upper border of the valve (diameter of the outlet), as well as measuring the length of the valve a (length to ectasia, the total length of the valve). The degree of ectasia over the valve was judged by calculating the relative venous diameter change (RVDC).Results. the average diameter of the SFV at the level of the lower boundary of its first valve was 10.01 ± 1.44 mm. The average diameter of the SFV at the level of the maximum ectasia of its first valve was 13,1±2 mm. The average value of the index of RVDC for SFV was 31%±10,4%. An increase in the diameter of the vein in the zone of supravalvular ectasia up to 20% corresponded to the spindle-shaped valve, more than 20% - to the clavate form, which was noted in the majority of the examined. The change in the relative venous diameter of the SFV on the Valsalva test was 38,2%±12,4%. The average diameter of the GSV at the base of the first valves was 6,07±1,25 mm. The average diameter of the GSV at the level of the maximum ectasia of the osteal valve was 9,44±1,69 mm. The average RVDC for GSV was 58%±24%.Conclusion. the natural form of proximal SFV and GSV valves is clavate with presence of the significant supravalvular ectasia, which was noted in the majority of the subjects alone and in all during the performance of the Valsalva functional test.

Introduction: The risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is high even after the period of bed rest following major general surgery including total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Mobile intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices allow the application of IPC during postoperative exercise. Although ambulation included ankle movement, no reports have been made regarding the effects of IPC during exercise, including active ankle exercise (AAE), on venous flow. This study was performed to examine whether using a mobile IPC device can effectively augment the AAE-induced increase in peak velocity (PV). Methods: PV was measured by Doppler ultrasonography in the superficial femoral vein at rest, during AAE alone, during IPC alone, and during AAE with IPC in 20 healthy subjects in the sitting position. PV in AAE with IPC was measured with a mobile IPC device during AAE in the strong compression phase. AAE was interrupted from the end of the strong compression phase to minimize lower limb fatigue. Results: AAE with IPC (76.2 cm/s [95%CI, 69.0–83.4]) resulted in a significant increase in PV compared to either AAE or IPC alone (47.1 cm/s [95%CI, 38.7–55.6], p < 0.001 and 48.1 cm/s [95%CI, 43.7–52.4], p < 0.001, respectively). Discussion: Reduced calf muscle pump activity due to the decline in ambulation ability reduced venous flow. Therefore, use of a mobile IPC device during postoperative rehabilitation in hospital and activity including self-training in an inpatient ward may promote venous flow compared to postoperative exercise without IPC. Conclusion: Use of a mobile IPC device significantly increased the PV during AAE, and simultaneous AAE with IPC could be useful evidence for the prevention of DVT in clinical settings, including after TJA.
