Mar 28, 2023 · The great saphenous vein (GSV) forms part of the superficial venous system of the lower limb. The great saphenous vein is the preferred term over other variants such as long saphenous vein (LSV), greater saphenous vein or internal saphenous vein 5.

The great saphenous vein (GSV) or long saphenous vein (/ səˈfiːnəs /) is a large, subcutaneous, superficial vein of the leg. It is the longest vein in the body, running along the length of the lower limb, returning blood from the foot, leg and thigh to the deep femoral vein at the femoral triangle.

Autologous greater saphenous vein (GSV) graft is frequently used as a conduit during arterial bypass. Preoperative vein mapping has been traditionally used to assess conduit adequacy and define GSV anatomy, thereby decreasing operative time and reducing wound complications.

Dec 26, 2015 · The GSV drains into the common femoral vein approximately 2.5 cm below the inguinal ligament at the SFJ. It is important to have a detailed understanding of the anatomy in this area, as there are at least six other tributaries draining to …

Nov 23, 2012 · In this study, we evaluated the imaging quality of CT venography for clinical evaluation of the lower extremity superficial venous system. We also compared CT and duplex sonographic findings about varicose veins.

Objective: Autologous greater saphenous vein (GSV) graft is frequently used as a conduit during arterial bypass. Preoperative vein mapping has been traditionally used to assess conduit adequacy and define GSV anatomy, thereby decreasing operative time …

May 25, 2023 · In this article, we will discuss the anatomy and clinical relevance of the great saphenous vein. The great saphenous vein is a large superficial vein of the lower limb. It drains into the femoral vein, which is the medial most structure in the femoral triangle.

Lower extremity computed tomography angiography (CTA) is frequently used for anatomic assessment of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease. When lower extremity bypass is planned, duplex ultrasound (DUS) is routinely obtained to evaluate the great saphenous vein (GSV) for use as conduit.

Mar 15, 2016 · Diagram of a “pseudo” saphenofemoral junction formed by the confluence of a lateral superficial inguinal tributary like the superficial circumflex iliac vein (SCIV) or epigastric vein (EV) and the anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) with …

Great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence, causing varicose veins and venous insufficiency, makes up the majority of lower‐limb superficial venous diseases. Treatment options for GSV incompetence include surgery (also known as high ligation and stripping), laser and radiofrequency ablation, and ultrasound‐guided foam sclerotherapy.
