Topographic Anatomy Of The Veins Of The Lower Extremities And Its Role In The Development Of Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Keywords:
Lower extremities, venous anatomy, saphenous veinsAbstract
The venous system of the lower extremities is characterized by a complex topographic and functional organization, ensuring venous return under the influence of gravity and muscle contraction. The purpose of this study is to analyze the anatomical and topographic features of the superficial and deep veins of the lower extremities and to evaluate their significance in the development of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). The work is based on a review of current anatomical and clinical studies using dissection, duplex scanning, and venography data. Particular attention is given to the relationship between venous valve distribution, perforating veins, and hemodynamic overload leading to valvular incompetence. Understanding the topography of venous trunks and their anastomoses allows the development of effective diagnostic and preventive measures against CVI.
