However, the prevalence and management of PeVD in patients with lower extremity varicose veins remain understudied. This study assesses the incidence of PeVD among women with superficial venous insufficiency (SVI) and evaluates the role of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) as a screening tool.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 350 female patients with SVI (CEAP C2-C6) from January 2021 to December 2023. SVI was confirmed by duplex ultrasound (DUS). All patients were evaluated for CPP at the initial visit. In those with CPP, pelvic symptom management preceded any lower limb intervention. Symptomatic patients were assessed using the Pelvic Venous Congestion Symptom Scale (PVCSS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and TVUS for features suggestive of PeVD. In confirmed cases, diagnostic venography and ovarian vein embolization were performed, followed by saphenous vein ablation.ResultsPeVD was identified in 11% (37/350) of patients. TVUS revealed pelvic varicosities, ovarian veins dilation >6 mm, and reflux, confirmed by venography. Of the 37 patients, 41% (15/37) underwent embolization, while 59% opted for conservative management. Post-treatment, median PVCSS scores improved from 20 to 2 (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and VAS scores from 8 to 0 (<i>p</i> < 0.001), indicating significant symptom relief. Mean follow-up was 17 months, with assessments at 1, 6, and 12 months. Reintervention-free survival was 86.7%.ConclusionApproximately one in 10 women with SVI have symptomatic PeVD, highlighting the importance of targeted screening. TVUS serves as a useful non-invasive diagnostic tool. Further studies are needed to clarify optimal treatment strategies and long-term outcomes in this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":94350,"journal":{"name":"Phlebology","volume":" ","pages":"2683555251351184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144268280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Near-infrared reflection illumination (NIRI) devices (\"vein finders\"), though recently introduced to assist venipuncture, have potential for broader vascular assessment. Our aim was to investigate the feasibility of a NIRI device to quantify the morphology of superficial hand veins and evaluate their response to a transient hemodynamic stress induced by suprasystolic limb occlusion. The dorsal hand veins of 14 healthy adults (21.5 ± 4.2 y.o.) were continuously recorded during a procedure consisting of a 5 min baseline, 3 min arm occlusion (200 mmHg), and 3 min recovery phases. Morphological parameters including vein width, branching angles, asymmetry indices, junctional exponent deviation, and optimality ratio, were extracted from three metacarpal veins and their tributaries. Nonparametric statistics were used to compare parameters between phases (<i>p</i> < .05). Occlusion led to a significant increase in the width of both receiving and tributary veins (<i>p</i> < .001), reflecting venous pooling. However, branching geometry remained largely unchanged, suggesting structural resilience. Junctional exponent deviation remained low, in agreement with Murray's law. Near-infrared vein finders enable real-time, non-invasive assessment of superficial venous morphology and compliance. Their sensitivity to dynamic vascular changes, combined with potential for integration with automated analysis tools, supports their broader use in vascular diagnostics, preoperative planning, and bedside monitoring.</p>","PeriodicalId":94350,"journal":{"name":"Phlebology","volume":" ","pages":"2683555251348754"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144268281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
