Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of angioscopically external valve suture repair. MethodAngioscope was introduced through the terminal great sapherous to the first venous valve of superficial femoral vein. With general femoral vein, deep femoral vein, superficial femoral vein blocked, heparin-contained NS was used to establish water column, and video-guided angioscopy demonstrates the valve′s shape and its degree of defect and deformation. Twelve patients with primary deep venous insufficiency underwent video-valvuloplasty.ResultsPostoperative phlebography showed disappearance of reflux in 9 cases, and significantly reduced reflux in 3 cases. There was no morbidity postoperatively. Conclusion Angioscopic external suture valve repair is safe and effective in the treatment of femoral superficial venous insufficiency.
