The authors analyze the results obtained by means of Doppler US, duplex examination and venography in the preoperative evaluation of venous vascular anatomy and flow dynamics in the popliteal fossa for short saphenous vein surgery. As a whole, 50 legs were examined in 34 patients who subsequently underwent surgery. The confluence of the short saphenous vein in the deep system proved to be very variable. Doppler results were compared with contrastographic ones: Doppler US had 10% accuracy in locating the confluence of the short saphenous vein and the figure rose to 62% with a +/- 2 cm tolerance. Duplex US had 30% and 98%, respectively. The latter always correctly demonstrated the reflux, while Doppler US in 5 cases (10%) ascribed gastrocnemius vein incompetence (4 cases) and Giacomini vein incompetence (1 case) to the short saphenous vein. The above findings demonstrate the total reliability of duplex US versus Doppler US and venography in recognizing the anatomic confluence and in allowing the fluximetric evaluation in a noninvasive, riskless and inexpensive way.
