An enlargement in the diameter of the perforating veins of 1 to 1.5 mm in the calf or 2 mm in the thigh of patients with varicose veins could be the difference between normal flow and reflux. Further studies are needed to confirm if elimination of reflux in patients with primary varicosity will transform incompetent perforators to competent ones.
Os três casos são referentes a pacientes em tratamento para trombose venosa profunda encaminhados ao laboratório vascular para avaliação da recanalização e/ou progressão do processo trombótico. Durante o estudo pelo eco-Doppler colorido, foram identificados sinais ecográficos compatíveis com fístula arteriovenosa no interior do trombo e adjacente à parede venosa.
Endovascular angioplasty and stenting have become a treatment of choice for severely symptomatic left iliac veins under external, arterial compression. Patency rates of stented iliac veins based on ultrasonographic (US) findings were estimated. Retrospective analyses of gender, age, deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prior to stenting, stent location at common and/or external iliac veins, and patency rates from 1 month to 5 years were performed. Patients treated were mostly women (72 of 79, 91%), aged 51 ± 16 (25-89) years. Patency rates were 96% at 1 month, 89% at 1 year, and 85% at 3 to 5 years, best for common iliac, 95%, than for external iliac vein stents, subgroup with prior DVT, with secondary patency rates of 75%. US demonstrated acceptable patency rates for iliac vein stenting showing good performance for common iliac vein stents but a decreased performance with stent extending to the external iliac vein or stents placed in patients with prior iliac DVT.

Context: Doppler ultrasonography is an established method for diagnosis, preoperative imaging and follow-up of extracranial carotid artery disease. Objetive: The evaluation of gender differences in carotid artery bifurcation Doppler ultrasonography mapping. Methods: High resolution Doppler ultrasonography of 500 carotid bifurcations was performed in 192 women and 308 men before surgical treatment. Gender differences were analyzed based on B-mode, color-flow, duplex doppler transverse and longitudinal images. Diameter percent stenoses, plaque length, distal internal and common carotid artery diameters, and distance from the carotid bifurcation to the ear lobe were compared. Mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values were described. Statistical comparisons were performed based on Student' s t and χ2 tests. Results: Carotid stenoses averaged 70±11% (30-95%) in women and 72±12% (40-98%) in men (p=0.013). The prevalence of 90-99% stenosis was greater in men, 14.3 vs 7.8% (p=0.029). Carotid plaques were longer in men, 2.3±0.8 vs 1.9 ±0.6 cm (p<0.001). Mean diameters of the distal internal carotid artery, 4.9±0.9 vs 4.6 ±0.8 mm, and of the common carotid artery, 7.6±1.3 vs 7.1±1.4 mm, were greater in men (p=0.001). Th e distance from the ear lobe to the bifurcation was also greater in men, 5.9±1.1 vs 5.3±0.9 cm (p<0.001). Conclusions: Doppler ultrasonography preoperative mapping demonstrated that the parameters measured were greater in men than in women. Detailed planning of carotid plaque treatment must take into consideration individual differences such as those associated with the patient' s gender.Keywords: ultrasonography; carotid stenosis; surgery. ResumoContexto: A ecografia das artérias carótidas extracranianas já se estabeleceu como método diagnóstico de imagem pré-operatória, e para seguimento de pacientes. Objetivo: Avaliar diferenças do mapeamento ecográfico em função do gênero masculino ou feminino dos pacientes. Métodos: Ultrassonografia de alta resolução foi realizada antes do tratamento cirúrgico de 500 bifurcações carotídeas em 192 mulheres e 308 homens. Análise de diferenças baseadas no gênero foi feita em imagens modo B e fluxo a cor, transversal e longitudinal, e medidas duplex doppler de velocidades. Porcentual de estenose expressa em redução de diâmetro, comprimento de placa, diâmetros das artérias carótida interna distal e comum, e distância da bifurcação ao lóbulo da orelha foram comparados. Média, desvio padrão, mínimo e máximo foram descritos. Comparações estatísticas foram baseadas em testes t de Student e do χ 2 . Resultados: Estenoses carotídeas mediram 70±11% (30-95%) em mulheres e 72±12% (40-98%) em homens (p=0,013). Prevalência de estenoses no intervalo 90-99% foi mais alta em homens, 14,3 vs 7,8% (p=0,029). As placas foram mais extensas nos homens, 2,3±0,8 vs 1,9±0,6 cm (p<0,001). O diâmetro médio foi maior nos homens, tanto da carótida interna distal, 4,9±0,9 vs 4,6±0,8 mm, como da carótida comum, 7,6±1,3 vs 7,1±1,4 mm (p=0.001). A distância da bifurcação ao lóbulo da...
