SPECTRUM OF FINDINGS ON COLOR DUPLEX SONOGRAPHY IN PATIENTS WITH CLINICAL SUSPICION OF CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY

Dr. Roselin Peter, Dr. Aravind Naravula

Abstract :

Chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs is characterized by symptoms and signs produced by venous hypertension due to structural and functional abnormalities of veins as a result of underlying reflux or obstruction that may eventually give rise to lower extremity edema, pigmentation pain, ulceration . The main objective is to study the spectrum of findings on colour duplex sonography in patients with clinical suspicion of CVI and to identify the patients who can be taken up for varicose surgery by locating and ruling out DVT in them.
