Low-flow malformations involve a single type of blood or lymph vessel, and are known as simple vascular malformations; high-flow malformations involve an artery. There are also malformations that are of mixed-flow involving more than one type of vessel, such as an arteriovenous malformation. [2] Low-flow vascular malformations include capillary ...
On releasing the pressure, if the valves are incompetent the flow will appear as a retrograde flow or reflux, greater than 0.5 sec. [2] Paraná maneuver: checking perforators Testing sapheno-popliteal junction with Paraná maneuver. The Paraná maneuver makes use of a proprioceptive reflex to test venous
A vascular anomaly can be either a vascular tumor or a birthmark, or a vascular malformation. [13] In a tumor such as infantile hemangioma the mass is soft, and easily compressed, and their coloring is due to the dilated anomalous involved veins. [14] They are most commonly found in the head and neck.
The estimated prevalence of vascular anomalies is 4.5%. [2] Vascular anomalies can occur throughout the whole body, but in 60% of patients they are localized in the head and neck region. [3] Vascular anomalies can present in various ways: when situated deep below the skin, they appear blue, and are often called cavernous.
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. Usually congenital , this vascular anomaly is widely known because of its occurrence in the central nervous system (usually as a cerebral AVM ), but can appear anywhere in the body.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition characterized by blood pooling in the veins, leading to increased pressure and strain on the vein walls. [1] The most common cause of CVI is superficial venous reflux, which often results in the formation of varicose veins, a treatable condition. [2]
The Trendelenburg Test or Brodie–Trendelenburg test is a test which can be carried out as part of a physical examination to determine the competency of the valves in the superficial and deep veins of the legs in patients with varicose veins.
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a vascular disease of the liver that occurs when a blood clot occurs in the hepatic portal vein, which can lead to increased pressure in the portal vein system and reduced blood supply to the liver. The mortality rate is approximately 1 in 10.
