The nonsaphenous vein of the popliteal fossa: Prevalence, patterns of reflux, hemodynamic quantification, and clinical significance Konstantinos T. Delis, MS, PhD, FRCSI, EBSQvasc, Alison L. Knaggs, FFARCSI, DEAA, John T. Hobbs, MD, FRCS, Marianne A. Vandendriessche, MD Journal of Vascular Surgery Volume 44, Issue 3, Pages (September 2006) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2006 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

Fig 4 Venous segmental disease score (VSDS) and venous clinical severity score (VCSS) in limbs with a vein of the popliteal fossa (PF; group A) and in limbs without, matched for CEAP clinical class, sex, and age (group C). The VSDS score of group A was significantly higher (P = .02; point estimate, 1; 95% confidence interval, ) than that of group C (median, 2; range, 0.5-6). Similarly, the VCSS score of group A was significantly higher than that of group C (P = .04; point estimate, 2.0; 95% confidence interval, ). IQR, Interquartile range.

Fig 5 Level of termination of the vein of the popliteal fossa (PFV) in 24 limbs in relation to the level of termination of the small saphenous vein (SSV). The PFV terminated at a higher level than the SSV (P = .042; median difference, 1.5 cm; 95% confidence interval, cm). The knee skin crease was taken as a reference (0 cm); terminations below this level were marked as negative.
