2. Ultrasonography of chronic venous insufficiency of the legs

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonography_of_chronic...

   The reversed blood pools in the low third of legs and feet. [17] Unlike in the arterial ultrasound study, when the sonographer studies venous insufficiency, the vein wall itself has no relevance and attention is focused on the direction of blood flow. The objective of the examination is to see how the veins drain.

3. Chronic venous insufficiency - Wikipedia

   Deep and superficial vein thrombosis may in turn be caused by thrombophilia, which is an increased propensity of forming blood clots. [citation needed] Arteriovenous fistula (an abnormal connection or passageway between an artery and a vein) may cause chronic venous insufficiency even with working vein valves. [citation needed]

4. Peripheral vascular system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_vascular_system

   The peripheral vascular system is the part of the circulatory system that consists of the veins and arteries not in the chest or abdomen (i.e. in the arms, hands, legs and feet). [1] [2] The peripheral arteries supply oxygenated blood to the body, and the peripheral veins lead deoxygenated blood from the capillaries in the extremities back to ...

5. Intravascular ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravascular_ultrasound

   The ultrasound catheter tip is slid in over the guidewire and positioned, using angiography techniques so that the tip is at the farthest away position to be imaged. The sound waves are emitted from the catheter tip, are usually in the 20-40 MHz range, and the catheter also receives and conducts the return echo information out to the external ...

6. Ultrasonography of deep vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonography_of_deep...

   Unlike arterial ultrasonography, venous ultrasonography is carried out with the probe in a transversal position, (perpendicular to the vein axis), displaying cross-sections of the veins. [4] All collateral veins are better detected this way, including perforator veins, but of most importance is the detection of venous thrombosis.

7. Angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography

   Angiography is also commonly performed to identify vessels narrowing in patients with leg claudication or cramps, caused by reduced blood flow down the legs and to the feet; in patients with renal stenosis (which commonly causes high blood pressure) and can be used in the head to find and repair stroke. These are all done routinely through the ...
