Sonographic identification of isolated incompetent perforating veins and their correlation with age, sex, body mass index and CEAP classification

Öz

Purpose: Isolated incompetent perforating veins (IPVs) are poorly discussed in the literature and their importance and prevalence is unknown. This study aims to assess the prevalence and their relation with several factors; age, sex, location and body mass index (BMI). 

Materials and Methods: A total of 803 limbs of 485 patients were evaluated with duplex ultrasonography. The clinical severity of the affected limbs were assessed according to CEAP classification. Incompetent perforating veins were considered isolated if neither superficial nor deep venous system reflux were associated. 

Results: 617 legs were classified as CEAP 0-2, 186 legs were classified as CEAP 3 or higher. There was a significant correlation with age, sex, BMI, incompetent perforating veins and CEAP stage. 22 of 803 legs (2.7%) have been shown to have isolated incompetent perforating veins. Total of 25 isolated incompetent perforating veins were detected in these 22 legs (19 patients; 14 females, 5 males). All patients with isolated incompetent perforating veins had CEAP stage 0-2. The mean BMI of these patients was lower than the whole patients groups. 

Conclusion: The results of this study show that isolated IPVs may also be a cause of venous insufficiency. It may be inferred that the increase in the patients' weights or BMIs does not lead to development of isolated incompetent perforating veins because the BMI of the patients with isolated incompetent perforating veins are found to be lower.
