Crossotomy, crossectomy and peripheral recurrences after conservative procedures for varicose veins Open
Fixing the venous reflux from the Saphenous-Femoral Junction (SFJ) is a key point in the surgical treatment of varicose veins in the territory of the Great Saphenous Vein (GSV). In the context of conservative procedures, this goal can be a…

Groin recurrences after surgical and endovascular treatments of varicose veins in the territory of the greater saphenous vein: a coherent hypothesis to explain their occurrence Open
Surgical and endovascular procedures to treat varicose veins in the territory of the Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV) are burdened by a variable rate of groin recurrences. In the case of surgical procedures, they are due to the development of …

Factors affecting the evolution of type III shunts of the greater saphenous vein after the first step of the CHIVA 2 strategy Open
The CHIVA 2 strategy is a two-step surgical procedure for treating type III venous-venous shunts in the territory of the Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV). The first step consists of disconnecting the incompetent GSV tributary, either N3 or N4.…

The troubled course of the CHIVA Cure through clinical studies: a critical review Open
The treatment of Superficial Venous Insufficiency (SVI) encompasses a wide and disparate array of techniques, ranging from destructive procedures (endovascular ablation, stripping and sclerotherapy) to the conservative hemodynamic procedur…

Are saphenous sparing treatments beneficial to the hemodynamics of the venous system? Open
This short review analyzes first the hemodynamic changes that follow destructive procedures, such as stripping or endovascular techniques, and conservative procedures, such as the CHIVA Cure. Then, the effects of the hemodynamic changes re…

CHIVA cure and sclerotherapy Open
Sclerotherapy is, by definition, a destructive treatment and, as such, it is conceptually long far away from the basic principles of the conservative hemodynamic cure for venous insufficiency (CHIVA cure). Accordingly, Phlebologists and Va…

Dynamic Fractioning of the Gravitational Hydrostatic Pressure: A hemodynamic model for the venous pressure control by the valvo-muscular pump Open
Dynamic Fractioning of the Gravitational Hydrostatic Pressure (DFGHSP) is a pillar of a hemodynamic model of the venous pathophysiology. It describes how the valvo-muscular pump varies the distal venous pressure in the lower limbs. It resu…

Experimental validation of the Paraná manoeuvre compared to the squeezing test Open
Background and aim The squeezing test (ST) is widely practiced, owing to its simple execution. In 1997, the Paraná (P) manoeuvre was proposed. This manoeuvre consists in a gently pushing-from-the-rear or pulling-from-the-front. Our aim was…
