Abstract

Background: There is a lack of clarity regarding the terminology of the anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) that can impact treatment outcomes. Although use of the word "accessory" implies that the vein is a superficial tributary, evidence supports its role as a truncal vein, similar to the great and small saphenous veins, and warranting a change in terminology.

Methods: A multisocietal panel was convened by the American Vein and Lymphatic Society (AVLS), the Union International of Phlebology (UIP), and the American Venous Forum (AVF). The group was charged with reviewing the existing anatomic and clinical literature pertaining to the term "anterior accessory saphenous vein" and to consider the need for alternative terminology.

Conclusion: Based on the insights gathered from the literature review and extensive discussions, the panel recommends changing the terminology such that the "anterior accessory saphenous vein" (AASV) now be designated the anterior saphenous vein (ASV).

隐静脉前端。第一部分。由美国静脉与淋巴协会、美国静脉论坛和国际静脉学联盟共同认可的立场声明。

背景：关于大隐前静脉（AASV）的术语不够明确，这可能会影响治疗效果。虽然使用 "附属 "一词意味着该静脉是浅表支流，但有证据支持其作为躯干静脉的作用，与大隐静脉和小隐静脉类似，因此有必要改变术语：方法：美国静脉和淋巴学会 (AVLS)、国际静脉学联盟 (UIP) 和美国静脉论坛 (AVF) 召集了一个多社会小组。该小组负责审查与 "隐静脉前支 "一词相关的现有解剖和临床文献，并考虑是否需要其他术语：根据从文献回顾和广泛讨论中收集到的见解，专家组建议更改术语，将 "隐静脉前方附属静脉"（AASV）更名为 "隐静脉前方静脉"（ASV）。
