Status of vein valve transplant after 12 months
S. A. Taheri, L. Lazar and S. Elias
Sequelae of the postphlebitic syndrome can now be treated by direct valve
surgery. However, present surgical treatment of stasis ulcer, including
removal of the incompetent communicating veins, ulcer excision, and skin
grafting, remains essential to patient care. When done alone, perforator
interruption and ulcer care are effective but allow a high rate of ulcer
recurrence. Experimental studies to restore venous valve function have
included autogenous vein valve transplantation, and synthetic valve
procedures also have been tried. Clearly, the patency rate of an autogenous
vein graft is better than any other procedure. Operations were done in 11
patients using an autogenous vein valve from the upper extremity to restore
a normal-functioning venous valve in the lower extremity. Data on
preoperative and postoperative measurements and ascending and descending
venography indicate hemodynamic improvement of venous function in these
extremities.
