Abstract
Background: The term Anterior Accessory of the Great Saphenous Vein suggest this is a branch tributary vein despite this vessel's anatomic features of a truncal vein. A multisocietal group suggested to designate this the Anterior Saphenous Vein (ASV). This study was aimed to evaluate its ultrasound anatomy in normal and varicose limbs.
Methods: The clinical anatomy of the ASV was evaluated by narrative review of the literature. Additionally, the course of the ASV was evaluated in 62 limbs with no evidence of venous disease and 62 limbs with varicosities.
Results: The ASV length, patterns of origin and termination are reported in both normal and patients with varicose veins. Discussion of the patterns is supported by the narrative review of the literature.
Conclusions: The ASV must be considered a truncal vein and its treatment modalities should be the same that for the great and small saphenous veins rather than a tributary vein.
背景：尽管大隐静脉的解剖学特征是躯干静脉，但 "大隐静脉前附件"（Anterior Accessory of the Great Saphenous Vein）一词表明这是一条支流静脉。一个多社会团体建议将其命名为前大隐静脉（ASV）。本研究旨在评估其在正常肢体和静脉曲张肢体中的超声解剖情况：方法：通过回顾文献对 ASV 的临床解剖进行评估。此外，还评估了 62 条无静脉疾病迹象的肢体和 62 条静脉曲张肢体的 ASV 走向：结果：正常静脉和静脉曲张患者的 ASV 长度、起源和终止模式均有报道。结果：报告了正常静脉和静脉曲张患者的 ASV 长度、起始和终止模式，对这些模式的讨论得到了文献综述的支持：结论：ASV 必须被视为躯干静脉，其治疗方法应与大隐静脉和小隐静脉相同，而非支流静脉。
