Answer 17

Above

Question 18

Calf DVT:

Is Doppler reliable for diagnosing calf DVT?

Answer 20

no–70% sensitivity

Question 21

Are gastroc deep veins?

Answer 21

not truly, but they are large and pose a risk for embolization

Do superficial leg veins have an accompanying artery within the border that separates the fascia from the muscle?

Answer 24

no

Question 25

What’s the primary job of the superficial leg veins?

Answer 25

not to return blood to the heart, but to regulate body temperature (vasodilation/constriction)

Question 26

Where does the GSV arise from?

Answer 26

medial aspect of the dorsal venous arch of the foot

Question 27

What are the 2 divisions of the GSV?

What provides collateral channels for an obstructed segment of the SFJ?

Answer 31

at least 6 other tributaries from groin, lower abdominal wall and perineum. (they are significant in recurrence of varicose veins)

Question 32
