Association between the saphenous vein diameter and venous reflux on computed tomography venography in patients with varicose veins.

ABSTRACT: Three-dimensional computed tomography venography is a useful tool to identify increased saphenous vein diameter and provides a complementary road map for surgery in patients with varicose veins. In this study, we investigated the correlation between saphenous vein diameter on computed tomography venography and venous reflux detected on duplex ultraonography. We enrolled 152 patients (213 extremities) who underwent endovenous laser ablation therapy, following high ligation of the saphenofemoral junction between January 2014 and December 2019. All patients underwent preoperative computed tomography venography evaluation. The saphenous vein diameter was measured on computed tomography venography, and venous reflux was evaluated in the operating room using Doppler ultrasonography. Among the 15
