Indicaciones, Contraindicaciones, Tipo de esclerosantes y concentraciones usadas, posición del paciente, Métodos de aplicación, forma de preparación y de conservación de los esclerosantes, Equipamiento necesario, Volúmenes de inyección, variables de administración, compresión, Observaciones Especiales.

Para responder las preguntas se consultó la bibliografía existente y los tópicos en los que hay uniformidad en dichos reportes, así mismo se constituyó un panel de expertos que emitieron su experiencia personal con lo cual se formularon las respuestas a manera de guías clínicas o recomendaciones que se expresan de manera general, incluyendo observaciones sobre la variabilidad de los conceptos plasmados, por tal motivo las preguntas concretas tendrán respuestas concretas y un apartado de observaciones donde se explicará las posibles variaciones aceptadas a cada rubro en particular. El texto principal expresa el 100 % de consenso sobre el tema y los párrafos con barra azul las variaciones que los expertos manifestaron. Los puntos anotados se discuten en base a las substancias que podemos conseguir en México, por lo que algunos esclerosantes o equipos no son contemplados.

2.4 Equipo

3. Del Paciente

•

3.1 Posicion

Transilluminador Es consenso general que se debe contar con equipo de transiluminación para realizar correctamente el procedimiento de esclerosis, ya sea fijo o de tipo portátil.

• Minidoppler o Doppler Lineal Es indispensable contar con equipo MiniDoppler (o Doppler Lineal) para diagnóstico y verificación de la corrección de los reflujos de venas esclerosadas.

• Doppler Color Si se cuenta con equipo Doppler Color, es aceptado mundialmente que es el equipo ideal para el diagnóstico y auxiliar en tratamientos como esclerosis ecoguiada.

• Tanque de Oxigeno Tanque de Oxigeno con puntas nasales.

Para Preparar espuma y otros usos.

• Oximetro • Camara fotografica • Computadora • Lampara Equipo adicional • Glucometro • Ecodoppler • Anoscopios desechables • Extensores de Aguja • Espejos vaginales desechables • Esterilizador • Podium de exploracion

2.5 Material para Compresión

• • •

Vendas elasticas 10 y 15 cm de alta, mediana y baja compresión.

Calcetín elástico de compresión mayor a los 25 mmHg Media elástica de compresión mayor a los 25 mmHg con o sin punta

Las medias pueden ser: Debajo de la rodilla, al muslo o pantimedia, según la preferencia y zona esclerosada; con punta o sin ella.

De manera General se prefiere la esclerosis con el paciente en decúbito, lo que evita accidentes por lipotimia o reacción adversa, y permite mayor confort.

En casos que no se cuente con transiluminador o que en la exploración de pie del paciente se aprecien venas que desaparecen con la posición en decúbito se podrá optar por: a) Marcar las venas insuficientes con el paciente de pie y esclerosarlo en decúbito. b) Sentarlo sobre la mesa de exploración con la pierna colgando y esclerosar las venas insuficientes en ésta posición, pasando inmediatamente a la posición de decúbito.

3.2 Compresión El vendaje compresivo puede ser simple, multicapa, o con medias o calcetines.

La utilidad de la compresión está descrita en múltiples trabajos, ayudando principalmente a prevenir el reflujo, favorecer el flujo venoso, disminuir la estasis, el edema y el dolor y contribuir al mejor funcionamiento del sistema linfático, mejorando también la microcirculación y favoreciendo el cierre de úlceras venosas.

Es unánime la postura de aplicar compresión post-escleroterapia.

El uso de cojinetes, algodón u otro sistema de compresión directa sobre las venas esclerosadas es conveniente pero no es una práctica Generalizada.

4. Observaciones adicionales 1. Debido a la gran patología venosa que existe en el pie, sugerimos incluir en la Clasificación CEAP en el rubro de anatomía: el número (19) que correspondería a perforantes del pie. Para de-

prevention, diagnosis and treatment of chronic venous insufficiency in 2009 in México, the Argentine and Latin American consensus for sclerotherapy in 2012, European sclerotherapy guidelines in chronic venous diseases of 2013,and various literature sources as well. The first Mexican consensus on sclerotherapy published in January 2014 which was reviewed and updated in this document.

Objective Review and update the general bases of Endovenous Chemical Ablation (ECA) also known as Sclerotherapy, according to evidence-based medicine updating the previously published consensus.

Method General questions about Endovenous Chemical Ablation (ECA) were established concerning: indications, contraindications, types of sclerosing agents and the concentrations used, patient position, methods of application, way to prepare and preserve the sclerosants, necessary equipment, injection volumes, differents administration ways, compressive therapy and special comments. To answer these questions the existing literature and the topics in which the reports showed uniformity were consulted. A panel of experts was constituted who provided their personal experience, the answers were formulated in the form of clinical guidelines or general recommendations to provide concrete answers to the specific questions, in some issues we include possible accepted variations.

1.2 Definition of Endovenous Chemical Ablation ­(Sclerotherapy) ECA is a treatment method for venous pathology consisting of the intravenous administration of a chemical substance which damages the venous endothelium producing the subsequent inflammatory changes, triggering the formation of an expected and controlled thrombus in a selected venous segment with its subsequent defunctionalization.

Rasgado FV et al. 2nd Mexican Consensus ... Phlebologie 2019

We have two physical forms to apply the sclerosing agents: a Liquid b Foam The Foam is prepared by Tessari method using a 3-way tap and two syringes using the following gases: ▪▪ Room Air (approximately 70 % of Nitrogen) ▪▪ CO2-O2 mixture ▪▪ O2 (pure oxygen) For this preparation, the dilution proposed by Dr. Tessari is used: 1 part sclerosing liquid and 4 parts gas.

Other methods can be considered as „Air Block“. The double syringe system is not yet available in Mexico, however there are other similar devices that can be achieved.

POLIDOCANOL (Lauromacrogol 400)

1.7 Volumes of Sclerosants (Liquid and Foam) There are several works on the volumes of foam that should be administered to each patient, it is important to note that the global variation is very wide, ranging from 1 to 60 ml; which is due to the concentration, gas used for foam, time of administration, number and type of veins to be treated and the personal experience of the physician.

It is recommended to use a maximum volume each session of 10 cc of the sclerosing agent, the average volumen suggested by the panel is 5cc in both liquid or foam form (▶ Tab. 1 and ▶ Tab. 2).

Remarks: This consensus DOES NOT limit the use of different concentrations or volumes, since, in differents part of the country, institution or personal experience, they can be varied according to optimizing the results for the patient.

Recommendations after Endovenous Chemical Ablation (Sclerotherapy): a Elevation of the treated limb of 10–15° by 5 to 10 min. with flexion-extension exercise of the ankle. b Put on a Elastocompression system c Immediate mobilization after 5–10 minutes (see above) d Consider that adverse effects may occur e Keep in touch with the patient. f Percutaneous thrombectomy by puncture or aspiration in the next 10 days.

10 and 20 cc syringes are recommended only for dilutions (▶Tab. 3).

Rasgado FV et al. 2nd Mexican Consensus ... Phlebologie 2019

2.3 Needles The following needle size and syringes are recommended to puncture the veins according their diameter. (▶Tab. 3). When injecting Foam through needles with gauge greater than 27 G, the bubbles are destroyed and liquid is mostly injected, therefore no needles larger than 27 G are recommended for foam injection into large diameter veins.

2.4 Medical Devices ▪▪ Venous Transilluminator: The panel agreed that transillumination equipment is mandatory in the ECA procedure.

▪▪ Polarized Light and Magnifying Glasses: Polarized light eliminates reflections due to the refraction of light in the dermis, which allows us to observe with greater precision Telangiectasias and small caliber vessels, the magnifying glasses allow to observe not perceptible veins under conventional conditions.

▪▪ Vein Visualizer in Real Time: System that emits a near infrared light, which when absorbed by the blood, produce the reflection of it and project a digital image of the veins on the skin.

▪▪ Linear Doppler or Hand Doppler: It is essential to have Linear or hand Doppler equipment for diagnosis and verification of the arterial and venous points and verify the ankle-brachial index (ABI).

▪▪ Ultrasound Doppler Color: The Color Doppler equipment is accepted worldwide as the ideal device for the diagnosis of venous disease, being also very useful to perform punctures of the vascular system and essential to ultrasound guided ablation and sclerosis treatments.

▪▪ Oxygen Tank: Medical Oxygen can be used through nasal tips or to prepare foam.

▪▪ CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Tank: Medical use gas which is used in a non-routine way to prepare the foam of the sclerosing agent.

▪▪ Oximeter: Useful for testing arterial saturation of the O2 after bandages.

▪▪ Photographic camera: For medical records and as clinical evidences.

▪▪ Computer Variant of Equipment and Additional Devices: ▪▪ Glucometer ▪▪ Needle Extenders ▪▪ Podium for Exploration ▪▪ Pletismograph

2.5 Material for Compression The Elastocompression system is considered as indispensable strategy after the treatment of ECA, which can be done with the following materials: ▪▪ Elastic bandages of 10 and 15 cm. (High, medium and low compression).

▪▪ Compression socks higher than 25 mmHg. For compression stockings, it can be used below the knee, thigh or pantyhose, depending on the preference and sclerosed area.

Tetradecyl Sodium Sulfate: The literature suggests the use of concentrations ranging from 0.1 % to 1.5 %. Maximum Tetradecyl Sodium Sulfate Dose: 4 ml 3 %. (not available in México)

Original Article

3.1 Position of the Patient during the ECA It is preferred to perform the ECA with the patient in lying position, which will avoid the presence of accidents caused by lipothymia or adverse reaction to the sclerosing agent, in addition to offering greater comfort.

In sometimes the evident varicosities in standing position disappear with the lying postion, then by this: a Proof if the veins can be located with Transillumination device. b Mark the insufficient veins with the patient standing before chemical ablation in decubitus. c Sit the patient on the examination table with the leg hanging and treat the insufficient veins in this position, immediately afterwards place the patient in lying position.

3.2 Compression After- ECA The usefulness of compressive therapy is described in many works auxiliary to prevent reflux, promote the venous upflow, decrease venous stasis, edema and pain, in addition to improve the lymphatic function, the microcirculation and promote the healing of venous ulcers.

The placement of a venous compression system after performing ECA (sclerotherapy) is unanimous. The use of bearings, cotton or other direct compression system on the sclerosed veins is convenient but not a generalized practice.

4. Additional Observations 1. Prior to the ECA procedure it is suggested: Avoid the tight clothing, do not apply creams, avoid exposure to sunlight and laser hair removal sessions (2 weeks before).

2. Adverse, Collateral, Secondary Effects and Complications of ECA (Sclerotherapy): Injection of a sclerosant can produce in some cases: cardiac abnormalities, cough and respiratory disorders, vomiting, visual disturbances, metallic taste, fever, back pain or headache, but it can also produce local reactions such as phlebitis or even ulcers by extravasation.

Like any other substance it can lead to allergic reactions such as rash, urticaria or even anaphylaxis reactions.

The adverse effects of ECA are mainly: ▪▪ Ecchymosis ▪▪ Local pain when applying the sclerosing agent ▪▪ Intense and continuous pain in the treated site ▪▪ Superficial Phlebitis and thrombophlebitis ▪▪ Dermatitis, itching, non-allergic erythema ▪▪ Local necrosis and ulcers due to extravasation ▪▪ Cough and dyspnea ▪▪ Nausea and vomiting ▪▪ Neurological injuries, Neuromas, Neuropraxia or Neuritis ▪▪ Deep Venous Thrombosis ▪▪ Neovascularization post sclerotherapy (Matting) ▪▪ Lipothymia and Disorders in the gait ▪▪ Headache, Migraine and Dizziness ▪▪ Paresthesias, Aphasia, Ataxia and Hemiparesis ▪▪ Transient Loss of Consciousness and Confusion

▪▪ Metallic Flavor and Hypoesthesia and/or Oral Dysesthesia (Orofacial) ▪▪ Scotoma and Transient disturbance of the vision ▪▪ Alteration into the General Condition (Fever, Asthenia, Adynamia) ▪▪ Hypertrichosis Complications of ECA (sclerotherapy) described in the literature worldwide: ▪▪ TIA ▪▪ Stroke ▪▪ Anaphylactic Shock and Angioedema ▪▪ Tachycardia, Arrhythmias and Cardio Respiratory Arrest ▪▪ Tako-Tsubo Syndrome and other cardiac complications ▪▪ Venous Thromboembolic Disease (Pulmonary Embolism) ▪▪ Instability of blood pressure (Hypotension-Hypertension) ▪▪ Ischemia in the limbs by intra arterial application of the sclerosant ▪▪ Vasovagal Syncope ▪▪ Angina Pectoris ▪▪ Vasculitis 4. Evaluation and therapeutic continuity is recommended from 1 to 4 weeks.

5. Medications and Local Measures after ECA: Physicians use drugs after Endovenous Chemical Ablation in the following proportions: ▪▪ Anti-phlebitic Medications: 10 % ▪▪ Non-Pharmacological Agents with Anti-phlebitic Effect (naturist): 90 % ▪▪ Topical gels: 10 % ▪▪ Analgesics and Oral Anti-inflammatories: 10 % ▪▪ Local Cold: 15 % 6. It is not advised to apply sclerosants via the perivascular route, although this is described as an option.

7. Post-sclerotherapy thrombectomy is ussually required by Percutaneous puncture or Aspiratiion within the first 10 days after the treatment and at any time that is necessary.

8. In México, it is mandatory to collect the following documents, before conducting sessions of Endovenous Chemical Ablation (Sclerotherapy): a Complete Medical Record (Printed or Electronic) b Medical history according to NOM-004-SSA3–2012 of the Medical Record c Phlebological Background Format d Informed Consent to treatment e Specific Registry of each medical and therapeutic session f Authorization to obtain sensitive data and to take photographs

CONSENSO PARA EL DIAGNÓSTICO ULTRASONOGRÁFICO VENOSO DE MIEMBROS INFERIORES. ACADEMIA MEXICANA DE FLEBOLOGIA CONSENSUS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF VENOUS ULTRASONOGRAPHIC OF LOWER LIMBS. MEXICAN ACADEMY OF PHLEBOLOGY Vega Rasgado F, Escalante Rodríguez E, Cavazos Ortega MA, Lira Rodríguez O, Serralde Gallegos JA. REVISION AGOSTO 2014

_______________________________________________________________ JUSTIFICACIÓN El tratamiento actual de la insuficiencia venosa de miembros inferiores requiere del apoyo diagnóstico y en ocasiones como herramienta para el tratamiento del USG dúplex, sin embargo en nuestro país se requiere uniformar los criterios para la realización, interpretación y reporte de dicho estudio, ante la gran variabilidad de enfoques y modos para realizarlo.

Por otra parte el costo del equipo lo hace inaccesible para la mayoría de los médicos que atienden patología venosa por lo que lo difieren a laboratorios que no tienen la uniformidad en el reporte, por otra parte la mayoría de éstos médicos utilizan el Doppler de bolsillo (Mini-Doppler) como herramienta básica para establecer sus diagnósticos de patología venosa. Por lo anterior se hace necesaria una guía sobre la realización, interpretación y reporte del USG venoso, ya sea Duplex o lineal.

UNIFORMIDAD DE CRITERIOS Para uniformar los criterios para la realización, interpretación y reporte del USG venoso debemos aclarar varios aspectos: • • • •

Anatomía Fisiología Parámetros USG Conceptos universales

Por lo que se describe a continuación, los conceptos mínimos de cada área que el médico debe dominar para la realización, interpretación y reporte del USG venoso. Son los siguientes:

Anatomía: Las estructuras venosas que se mencionan a continuación son las más frecuentes pero no las únicas, no se mencionan las venas perforantes del pie, glúteo o región vulvar.

Sistema Superficial: - Safena mayor.

- Safena accesoria antero externa.

- Safena accesoria antero interna.

- Safena menor.

- Venas geniculares.

Sistema Profundo: - Vena Tibial Anterior.

- Vena Tibial posterior.

- Tronco Venoso Tibio-Peroneo.

- Vena Peronea Vena Poplítea.

- Vena Femoral.

- Vena Iliaca.

Sistema de perforantes: • Muslo: - Perforante de Hunter o Vena perforante medial interna del muslo.

- Perforante de Dood o Vena perforante distal interna del muslo.

- Perforante de Hatch o Vena perforante anterior del muslo.

- Vena perforante ciática o Vena posterior del muslo.

- Vena perforante de la región pudenda.

- Vena perforante lateral del muslo.

127

Revista Iberoamericana de Cirugía Vascular Iberoamerican Journal of Vascular Surgery - Vol 2, nº 3. 2014

Parámetros Ultrasonográficos:

• Pierna: - Vena perforante de Boyd o Vena perforante medial de la rodilla.

- Venas perforantes de Cockett I, II y III o Venas paratibiales posteriores superior media e inferior.

- Vena perforante de Sherman o Vena perforante anterior de la tibia.

- Vena perforante lateral de la pierna.

- Vena perforante de May o Vena perforante intergemelar.

- Vena perforante de Bassi o Vena perforante para aquiliana.

• Tobillo:

•

Válvula ostial: Se localiza en la unión de la safena magna con la vena femoral e impide el reflujo hacia la safena.

•

Válvula pre-ostial: Se localiza unos centímetros antes de la unión safeno-femoral, impide el reflujo desde las venas tributarias al cayado de la safena.

•

Unión safeno-femoral: La región anatómica comprendida en la unión de la vena safena magna con la vena femoral.

•

Unión safeno-poplítea: Unión de la safena menor con la vena poplítea, habitualmente en el hueco poplíteo pero con variaciones anatómicas significativas.

Desembocadura de la vena epigástrica superficial: Sitio anatómico de referencia para cirugía venosa endoscópica, ubicado generalmente a 1.5 cm de la unión safeno-femoral.

Segmerto Ilio-femoral: Sitio anatómico de referencia para cirugía venosa endoscópica, ubicado generalmente entre 1.5 y 2 cm de la unión safeno-femoral,

Fisiología: Los conceptos básicos consideración son los siguientes: • • • •

•

bajo.

Definiciones:

tomaremos

Flujo: Movimiento sanguíneo en la dirección fisiológica normal.

Reflujo: Flujo en sentido contrario a la dirección fisiológica normal. Para considerar reflujo patológico, debe mantenerse más de 1 segundo a maniobras de esfuerzo. (Valsalva, Paraná).

Flujo invertido: Flujo en sentido inverso al normal sin repercusiones patológicas y debido a compensación fisiológica (Inspiración-espiración).

El sonido Doppler de la arteria es pulsado, bifásico y de tono más agudo.

- Venas perforantes de la red maleolar interna - Venas perforantes de la red maleolar externa

•

•

en

El sentido normal del flujo venoso es de abajo hacia arriba y de superficial a profundo.

La Insuficiencia venosa profunda de manera crónica puede ocasionar aumento del diámetro de las venas tibiales.

El flujo venoso en posición supina puede ser muy lento.

La obstrucción de una vena se acompaña de la triada de Virchow desde su inicio y sigue la historia natural de la enfermedad, no necesita ser una obstrucción total.

El sonido Doppler de la Vena es fásico y de tono más

El Doppler color evidencia reflujos de manera “Cualitativa”, una vez identificado el vaso.

La onda Doppler lineal puede evidenciar reflujos y cierre valvular y permite medir la duración de éstos eventos.

La medición del diámetro venoso en reposo y con maniobras de Valsalva permite evidenciar la compliancia de la vena y observar los flujos, es valorable con el paciente de pie.

En decúbito el diámetro disminuye.

La compresibilidad se pierde en vasos trombosados.

Diámetro mayor a 3 mm en las venas tibiales o perforantes es sugestivo de hipertensión venosa.

Conceptos Universales: El USG venoso funcional se realiza con el paciente en posición supina siempre y cuando la condición del paciente lo permita.

En ocasiones especiales y para recabar datos anatómicos más que funcionales puede hacerse con el paciente sentado e incluso en decúbito dorsal o prono, según convenga para demostrar lo que se pretenda. En ocasiones puede hacerse con el paciente sentado para poner en evidencia patología específica, deberá señalarse en el reporte.

Lo más deseable es que el estudio lo realice el médico tratante para elaborar el mapeo y diseño del probable tratamiento • Mapeo: Dibujo esquemático de las alteraciones encontradas en el USG Doppler color, se utilizarán símbolos convencionales fáciles de entender, se sugieren los siguientes de manera estandarizada:

Revista Iberoamericana de Cirugía Vascular

Iberoamerican Journal of Vascular Surgery - Vol 2, nº 3. 2014 - Líneas de color Negro para trayectos trombosados.

- Líneas de color rojo para señalar reflujos.

- Líneas de color azul para trayectos atípicos o variantes - Línea punteada para segmentos ausentes.

Símbolo de perforante: - Flechas para señalar el sentido del flujo, en caso de reflujo la flecha señalará ambos sentidos.

Algún otro requerimiento deberá señalarse claramente, tales como: - Ausencia de Flujo.

- Trombo.

- Fleboneogénesis.

- Oclusión Venosa.

- Obstrucción Venosa.

- Compresión Venosa.

- Recanalización.

- Permeabilidad Venosa.

- Suficiencia e Insuficiencia venosa.

Cuando se solicita el estudio a otro médico debe especificarse la probable patología esperada o lo que es preciso enfatizar en la búsqueda. Deben evitarse las solicitudes de: “USG Doppler color de Miembros inferiores”, sin diagnóstico concreto de tipo anatómico y funcional.

En caso de recanalización se realiza un flebografía de estrés para descartar la presencia de compresiones extrínsecas que puedan, en un futuro, conducir a la retrombosis del vaso.

Cuando no existe tal compresión se procede a realizar tratamiento anticoagulante durante 3 a 6 meses. En caso tal de que se evidencie una compresión, lo correcto es un tratamiento etiológico mediante cirugía descompresiva. En estos casos existe cierta discrepancia sobre si la cirugía debe ser diferida, tras el restablecimiento de la integridad del endotelio para evitar •

Clasificación CEAP: Es la clasificación utilizada por el médico que remite y quien hace el estudio para referir al paciente. (Consultar: Journal of Vascular Surgery 2004. 40:6.1248-1252 publicada por el American Venous Forum).

Parámetros Ultrasonográficos: La forma de realizar la exploración se reporta en diversos artículos que avalamos, en especial el consenso de la UIP parte I y parte II. Enfatizamos puntos básicos: - Debe realizarse con el paciente de pie, siempre y cuando la condición clínica lo permita, de lo contrario deberá señalarse en el reporte y considerar las variaciones de inexactitud que pueden presentarse.

- Debe hacerse siguiendo un orden específico: Cefálico a caudal o viceversa, superficial a profundo, por regiones anatómicas, etc.

- Deberá enfatizarse en las zonas que clínicamente se aprecian alteradas y buscar el origen del trastorno hemodinámico de ellas.

- Deberá comprobar la funcionalidad y permeabilidad de la circulación profunda en su totalidad.

- Deberá confirmar la funcionalidad e integridad del sistema superficial (safena mayor y safena menor con todas sus ramificaciones en el muslo y en la pierna).

- Deberá confirmar el estado funcional de las principales perforantes en cada segmento y las ramificaciones que se deriven de éstas.

- Deberá señalar las zonas de obstrucción con la mayor precisión posible.

- En caso de úlceras, deberá hacer hincapié en el sistema superficial, profundo y de perforantes que confluyen o afectan el territorio afectado.

- Deberá anexar imágenes relevantes que muestren de mejor manera la alteración o integridad que se pretende poner en evidencia.

- Se debe completar con un rastreo de la cavidad pélvica, siendo conveniente explorar la vena iliaca.

- Explorar la zona vulvar y perineal cuando clínicamente se justifique.

Deberá explorar en todo su trayecto: Sistema Superficial: - Unión safeno-femoral.

- Vena safena mayor o magna y ramificaciones.

- Unión safeno-poplítea.

- Vena safena menor o parva y sus ramificaciones.

Sistema Profundo: - Vena Iliaca.

- Vena Femoral.

- Vena Poplítea - Tronco tibio-peroneo venoso.

- Venas Tíbiales anteriores.

- Venas Tíbiales posteriores.

- Venas Peroneas

- Describir los sitios no comunes donde se encuentren alteraciones.

Con las anteriores referencias se podrá tener una idea general del estado funcional hemodinámico de la pierna.

- Verificar intencionalmente las zonas que clínicamente se encuentren alteradas y describir los hallazgos.

• Indicaciones: El diagnóstico por USG es el estudio más frecuente para diagnosticar y dar seguimiento a problemas de insuficiencia venosa de miembros inferiores, el estudio con mini-Doppler o de bolsillo debe realizarse en todos los pacientes que tengan problemas de várices, edema, sospecha de trombosis y como valoración inicial.

En aquellos lugares donde no se cuente con el auxilio del USG Duplex la exploración con mini Doppler es absolutamente necesaria en todo paciente con enfermedad venosa de los miembros inferiores.

El Estudio de USG Doppler Duplex se indica para el diagnóstico de las alteraciones hemodinámicas venosas (obstrucción o reflujo) en pacientes con Insuficiencia Venosa clínica o sintomática, pacientes con troncos varicosos, edema y desde grados C2 en delante de la clasificación CEAP.

- Para lo anterior se recomiendan los esquemas siguientes, que pretenden ser un estándar para dicho reporte y usar los signos convencionales mencionados con anterioridad. *Esquemas de Reporte de Ultrasonido Venoso continúa en las páginas 132 y 133.
