Disease relevance of Popliteal Vein

• She has been on oral warfarin with an international normalized ratio between 2 and 3 for the past 3 months because of an idiopathic left popliteal vein thrombosis [1].
• Deep venous thrombosis of the calf and popliteal veins was diagnosed, and she was treated with intravenous heparin and oral warfarin anticoagulation [2].
• In this study we combined the microcirculatory evaluation with foot and leg volumetry to evaluate the effects of Venoruton in 15 patients with deep (popliteal vein) incompetence and venous hypertension, treated for 6 weeks [3].

High impact information on Popliteal Vein

• METHODS: Eighty-five patients underwent contrast venography and MRV from the inferior vena cava to the popliteal veins to rule out DVT [4].
• The results suggest that the fibrinolytic activity in the soleal veins may be low when compared with that in the femoral and popliteal veins [5].
• Patients with popliteal vein involvement showed a significantly higher incidence of PTS 3 years later (P < 0.001) [6].
• METHODS: All patients were treated by catheter directed infusion of alteplase into the popliteal vein [7].
• She had a rare presentation of popliteal vein thrombosis, pulmonary emboli, and possible tissue necrosis with carbon monoxide poisoning [8].

Anatomical context of Popliteal Vein

• The most proximal level of propagation was the popliteal vein in 11 patients, the superficial femoral vein in 5, the common femoral vein in 5, adjacent tibial or soleal veins in 24, adjacent soleal veins alone in 7, and the lesser saphenous vein in 1 [9].

Gene context of Popliteal Vein

• An anatomic definition of the obstructions and the collateral pathways is therefore easily displayed from the popliteal vein to the vena cava [10].
• The peak velocity in the popliteal vein was measured at rest with the legs flat, foot-up, and foot-down, then it was measured when the AV Impulse Foot Pump was activated [11].
• They were selected because they had varicose veins and proximal deep vein incompetence with photoplethysmography (PPG) venous refilling time (VRT) <15 s with a below knee tourniquet, and a femoral or popliteal vein reflux time (RT) >1.5 s on duplex ultrasound [12].
• At reoperation, the aorta was repaired with a superficial femoral/popliteal vein interposition graft; a segment of superficial femoral/popliteal vein was also used in-line to revascularize the superior mesenteric and celiac arteries [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Popliteal Vein

• Our results suggest merit to routine examination of the deep femoral, anterior tibial, and particularly the soleal (but not the gastrocnemius) veins and also to use of an imaging technique to detect congenital duplications of the superficial femoral and popliteal veins [14].
