1 The saphenous vein: Derivation of its name and its relevant anatomy
Alberto Caggiati, MD, PhDa, John J. Bergan, MD, FACS, FRCS(Hon), Engb,c  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 35, Issue 1, Pages (January 2002) DOI: /mva Copyright © 2002 Society for Vascular Surgery and The American Association for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 One of the first illustrations (probably the first in a European text) demonstrating the GSV. From Berengario da Carpi, Isagogae Breves, Bologna, 1523. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /mva ) Copyright © 2002 Society for Vascular Surgery and The American Association for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 The path of the GSV according to Andrea Vesalio (Vesalius). From The Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem, Basel, 1543. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /mva ) Copyright © 2002 Society for Vascular Surgery and The American Association for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

4 Fig. 3 Sonographic appearance of the saphenous fascia (white arrows ). A, Transverse sonography of the medial thigh demonstrating the boundaries of the saphenous compartment and the saphenous ligament (black arrows ). Compare this image with Fig 4, AB, Note the superficial course of a collateral vessel placed just below the dermis (*). C, Longitudinal sonography of the medial thigh. The GSV is dilated and tortuous. D, Transverse sonography of the medial thigh. A dilated collateral vein overlies and conceals the GSV. Compare this image with Fig 4, C. MF, Muscular fascia.

5 Fig. 4 A, Transverse macroscopic section from a cadaveric thigh. Note the thickness of the saphenous fascia (arrows ). B, Computed tomography scan from medial thigh showing the saphenous fascia (black arrows) and the superficial course of the collateral saphenous veins (white arrows). C, Computed tomography 3-dimensional varicography showing a straight and normal-sized GSV (black arrows) overlaid by a tortuous and dilated collateral vein (white arrows).
