Diagnosis of arteriovenous compression in small pelvic varicose veins

CONCLUSION: In women with signs of chronic venous insufficiency in the system of the inferior vena cava the frequency of detecting arteriovenous compression on multislice computed tomography may reach 24% and does not depend on the presence of symptoms of pelvic venous plethora. The proportion of arteriovenous compression according to the findings of direct phlebography and phlebotonometry in the structure of causes of the development of pelvic varicose veins did not exceed 11%. An algorithm for diagnosing arteriovenous compression syndromes should obligatorily include multislice computed tomography, direct phlebography and phlebotonometry.PMID:34528590 | DOI:10.33529/ANGIO2021302
