[1] The term is a French acronym for Conservatrice Hémodynamique de l'Insuffisance Veineuse en Ambulatoire (ambulatory conservative hemodynamic treatment venous insufficiency).

  3. Collapsed vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapsed_vein

    Permanent vein collapse occurs as a consequence of: [citation needed] Repeated injections, especially with blunt needles. Poor injection technique. Injection of substances which irritate the veins; in particular, fluids that are hypertonic (high osmolality), vasoactive, irritants, with an extreme pH (very acidic / alkaline), [3] or liquid methadone intended for oral use.

  4. Vein graft failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vein_Graft_Failure

    In medicine, vein graft failure (VGF) is a condition in which vein grafts, which are used as alternative conduits in bypass surgeries (e.g. CABG), get occluded. Veins, mainly the great saphenous vein (GSV) are the most frequently used conduits in bypass surgeries (CABG or PABG), due to their ease of use and availability. [1]

  5. Vessel harvesting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_harvesting

    Coronary artery bypass graft surgery has been in practice since the 1960s. Historically, vessels—such as the great saphenous vein in the leg or the radial artery in the arm—were obtained using a traditional "open" procedure that required a single, long incision from groin to ankle, or a "bridging" technique that used three or four smaller incisions.

  6. Trendelenburg operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trendelenburg_operation

    The great saphenous vein is exposed and the common femoral and subsartorial veins are identified before dividing. The vein is ligated close to the junction with of the femoral vein. [ 3 ] If the ligation is distal from the saphenofemoral junction , it will leave out small tributaries which may later cause recurrence of varicosities.

    The ASV which is often responsible for varicose veins, can be located at the 'alignment sign', where it is seen to align with the femoral vessels. On ultrasound at the saphenofemoral junction in the groin, the common femoral vein (CFV) with the GSV and the common femoral artery (CFA) create an image called the Mickey Mouse sign.
