small saphenous vein , auch: short saphenous vein

Along the side of the muscle, and superficial to it, is the small saphenous vein.

Myers wrote that open surgery for small saphenous vein reflux is obsolete.

By comparison ERA has been shown to control 80% of cases of small saphenous vein reflux at 4 years, said Myers.

Padbury and Benveniste found that ultrasound guided sclerotherapy was effective in controlling reflux in the small saphenous vein.

Small saphenous vein, which perforates the deep fascia and passes between the two heads of the gastrocnemius muscle to end in the popliteal vein.

The small saphenous vein (also short saphenous vein), is a relatively large superficial vein of the posterior leg.

Radiofrequency ablation is used to treat the great saphenous vein, the small saphenous vein, and the perforator veins.

Sural Nerve Entrapment A branch of the tibial nerve that accompanies the small saphenous vein.

Sclerotherapy can also be performed using microfoam sclerosants under ultrasound guidance to treat larger varicose veins, including the great and small saphenous veins.

The small saphenous vein (SSV), runs along the posterior aspect of the leg as far as the popliteal region, in the upper calf.

The dorsal venous arch of the foot is a superficial vein that connects the small saphenous vein and the great saphenous vein.

It has its origin in the dorsal venous arch of the foot, a superficial vein which connects the small saphenous vein with the GSV.

Anatomically, it is defined by where the dorsal veins of the first and fifth digit, respectively, meet the great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein.

They can communicate the great saphenous vein with the small saphenous vein, (for example the Giacomini vein) or the superficial venous system with the deep one.

Behind, it forms the popliteal fascia, covering in the popliteal fossa; here it is strengthened by transverse fibers, and perforated by the small saphenous vein.

The Giacomini vein is a communicant vein between the great saphenous vein (GSV) and the small saphenous vein (SSV).

During the procedure, a catheter bearing a laser fiber is inserted under ultrasound guidance into the great saphenous vein (GSV) or small saphenous vein (SSV) through a small puncture.

From the deep plantar venous arch the medial and lateral plantar veins run backward close to the corresponding arteries and, after communicating with the great and small saphenous veins, unite behind the medial malleolus to form the posterior tibial veins.

One lies immediately beneath the popliteal fascia, near the terminal part of the small saphenous vein, and drains the region from which this vein derives its tributaries, such as superficial regions of the posterolateral aspect of the leg and the plantar aspect of the foot.
