Background Chronic venous insufficiency affects the lives of many people and therefore constitutes a public health problem. Knowledge of the drainage patterns of reflux from varicose veins secondary to incompetent saphenous veins is essential to define the best therapeutic management. Objectives To determine the reflux drainage patterns from varicose veins originating in incompetent GSV, the prevalence of perforating veins (PV), and their relationships with symptoms. Methods 55 ultrasound reports were analyzed to determine the drainage patterns of reflux from the GSV, location and diameter of PV drainage, and staging of symptoms. Results In 64% of the sample, reflux from varicose veins drained to PVs, in 4% reflux drained to the GSV itself, in another 4% drainage was to the small saphenous vein, and in 29% drainage was to varicose trunk veins in which no direct communication with the deep system could be identified. No associations were observed between symptoms and reflux drainage patterns or PV diameters. Conclusions For this sample, PVs were responsible for draining flow from varicose veins in 64% of cases. Neither PV diameters nor GSV reflux patterns were associated with severity of symptoms.

“…The connection between the anatomical extent of reflux and the progression of primary chronic venous disease has been consistently demonstrated by many studies [ 1 – 4 ]. Axial reflux and multi-segmental reflux are more prevalent in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) than in those with less advanced disease.…”

Despite the recognition of the importance of the anatomical extent of venous reflux, its description in medical literature is inconsistent in terms and classifications. Recent international consensus documents provide clear definitions for the three main classes of reflux: segmental, multi-segmental, and axial. This report addresses the most important aspects of the standard definitions of the anatomical extent of venous reflux, the differences between the three classes of reflux, and the challenges of implementing this classification in clinical practice.
