    Abstract Objectives: Some patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) demonstrate improved dysautonomic symptoms following treatment for pelvic venous insufficiency (PVI). This study assessed the prevalence of significant left common iliac vein (LCIV) compression in POTS patients.
    Methods: Radiologists retrospectively reviewed CT images of pelvic veins for 216 women (191 with POTS and 25 age-comparable controls).Quantitative vascular analysis identified percent-diameter compression of the LCIV by the right common iliac artery. Significant LCIV compression was defined as >50%.
    Results: Significant LCIV compression was found in 69% (131/191) of females with POTS versus 40% (10/25) in controls. The hypothesis that venous compression and presence of POTS are independent was rejected (
    Conclusions: Significant LCIV compression was noted in a majority of female POTS patients, suggesting that incidence of iliac venous obstruction may be higher than the general population. Patients with POTS and symptoms of PVI may benefit from assessment for venous outflow obstruction.

    Abstract Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) affect a large population, and it cannot heal without doctors' interventions. However, many patients do not get the medical advisory service in time. At the same time, the doctors also need an assistant tool to classify the patients according to the severity level of CVI. We propose an automatic classification method, named CVI-classifier to help doctors and patients. In this approach, first, low-level image features are mapped into middle-level semantic features by a concept classifier, and a multi-scale semantic model is constructed to form the image representation with rich semantics. Second, a scene classifier is trained using an optimized feature subset calculated by the high-order dependency based feature selection approach, and is used to estimate CVI's severity. At last, classification accuracy, kappa coefficient, F1-score are used to evaluate classification performance. Experiments on the CVI images from 217 patients' medical records demonstrated superior performance and efficiency for CVI-classifier, with classification accuracy up to 90.92%, kappa coefficient of 0.8735 and F1score of 0.9006. This method also outperformed doctors' diagnosis (doctors rely solely on images to make judgments) with accuracy, kappa and F1-score improved by 9.11%, 0.1250 and 0.0955 respectively.

    Abstract Venous insufficiency is a frequent cause of consultation in primary care settings. Heterotopic ossification, consisting of an abnormal formation of true bone in extraskeletal soft tissues, is an underrecognized complication of chronic venous insufficiency that may cause torpid ulcers. We report a case of 78-year-old woman, with a long-standing history of venous insufficiency and tibial fracture, showing a non-healing ulcer associated with subcutaneous calcifications of the left lower extremity. Gold standard of imaging diagnosis are both plain radiographs and computed tomography but also magnetic resonance imaging could be useful for assessing the characteristics of the pathology. We describe a case of Heinz-Lippmann disease, diagnosed by using both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

    Abstract Duplex ultrasonography (DUS) is an essential part of the evaluation of patients with most forms of superficial venous insufficiency. DUS has also become an important tool in directing and assessing the results of a variety of minimally invasive treatments of this disease. In this article, we review the salient aspects of performing an adequate DUS evaluation and the utility of this technique in guiding treatment.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To evaluate the utility of magnetic resonance venography with time-resolved imaging (MRV TRI) in the diagnosis of pelvic vein insufficiency (PVI).
    Recent findings: A retrospective single-center review of N = 17 consecutive patients who underwent pelvic MRI for the assessment of PVI was performed. N = 8/17 (47%) studies were positive for PVI. TRI imaging demonstrated N = 6/8 patients with Grade 0-3 PVI and N = 2/8 patients with May-Thurner Syndrome. N = 4/8 patients underwent elective endovascular management, all of which were technically successful. In the assessment of PVI, MRV TRI provides a dynamic assessment of venous insufficiency, serving as an adjunct to the imaging diagnosis of this pathology.

    Abstract Objective: We present a case of recurrent bilateral lower extremity venous stasis ulcers in association with a superficial venous aneurysm at the right saphenofemoral junction that was misdiagnosed on preoperative duplex scanning.
    Methods: A 53-year-old female presented to our clinic with 6-year history of bilateral lower extremity venous stasis ulcers. Her past medical history was significant for refractory venous stasis ulcers of the bilateral lower extremities present for 6 years and morbid obesity.
    Results: Preoperative venous duplex demonstrated severe venous insufficiency of the superficial and deep systems, but a venous aneurysm was not appreciated. During the high ligation of the right saphenofemoral junction, a 3 × 4 × 5 cm aneurysm was encountered. Repair consisted of aneurysm resection, high ligation of the greater saphenous vein, dissociation of the great saphenous and anterior saphenous veins, and stab phlebectomy of large varicose veins of the thigh and lower leg. The patient recovered uneventfully and experienced complete healing of the venous stasis ulcer in several weeks.
    Conclusion: Superficial venous aneurysms of the lower extremity are rare and can be often missed on preoperative duplex ultrasound imaging. Large diameter measurements of the proximal greater saphenous vein and obesity increase the risk of misdiagnosing venous aneurysms with duplex imaging; therefore, clinical suspicion must remain high. These aneurysms can be associated with significant symptoms for which repair is indicated.

    Abstract We investigated the effectiveness of shear wave elastography (SWE) in patients with lower extremity superficial venous insufficiency (VI). A total of 138 symptomatic patients, 51 asymptomatic volunteers, and a total of 359 lower extremities (257 symptomatic, 102 asymptomatic) were examined. All participants underwent Doppler ultrasound (US) evaluation to determine VI and SWE measurements performed by manually drawing vein wall and perivenous tissue with free region of interest at the great saphenous vein (GSV) and small saphenous vein (SSV). The GSV, SSV diameter, VI, and volume flow of reflux were compared with the SWE values. The SWE values of the symptomatic group for GSV and SSV were significantly higher than those of the asymptomatic control group regardless of whether VI was detected by Doppler US (P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant increase in SWE values for the symptomatic group who were diagnosed as having reflux in GSV and SSV (P < 0.001). A significant positive correlation between increased GSV, SSV diameter, and SWE values was seen (P < 0.001). Venous insufficiency can be diagnosed with a 84.7% sensitivity and 84.2% specificity when 2655 m/s was designated as cutoff value, and with a 85.4% sensitivity and 84.2% specificity when 22,350 kPa was designated as the cutoff value in GSV. Venous insufficiency can be diagnosed with a 84.3% sensitivity and 82.4% specificity when 2845 m/s was designated as cutoff value, and with a 85.7% sensitivity and 84.4% specificity when 27,100 kPa was designated as the cutoff value in SSV. Shear wave elastography may be used effectively in addition to conventional Doppler US examination in diagnosing and following VI.

    Abstract OBJECTIVE. The purposes of this article are to review the causes of pelvic congestion syndrome and the imaging used to make the diagnosis and to summarize the treatment options. CONCLUSION. Pelvic congestion syndrome is one of many causes of chronic pelvic pain. It is thought to arise from ovarian and pelvic venous incompetence. Findings from various noninvasive imaging studies, such as Doppler ultrasound and MRI, in association with the clinical symptoms are critical in establishing the diagnosis.
