Summary

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is one of the most common medical problems in adults that occurs secondary to the reflux of blood through incompetent valves of lower extremity veins. The most common involved valve is the valve located at the saphenofemoral junction. Although the pathway of reflux transmission is not the same in all patients, the removal or ablation of the greater saphenous vein (GSV) is considered a standard treatment in these patients. However, in patients whose reflux is transmitted to branches other than GSV, this treatment leads to the unnecessary destruction of a competent segment of GSV in addition to remaining at least some segments of incompetent veins. So, in this study, the investigators intend to investigate the different pathways of reflux transmission in chronic venous insufficiency patients who are candidates for GSV ablation/stripping because of saphenofemoral junction insufficiency. This cross-sectional study will be conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach. .
