Fig. 2 A, Prevalence of incompetent perforating veins (incompetent perforating veins/limbs in each class) in relation to medial, posterior, and anterolateral aspects of lower limb across clinical spectrum of CVI. B, Prevalence of incompetent perforating veins (incompetent perforating veins/limbs in each class) in relation to upper, middle, and lower thirds of thigh and calf across clinical spectrum of CVI.

Fig. 3 A, Prevalence of incompetent perforating veins (incompetent perforating veins/limbs in each class) in different CEAP classes of chronic venous insufficiency (r = .95, P < .01). B, Number of incompetent perforating veins per limb with documented perforating vein incompetence in different CEAP classes of chronic venous insufficiency (r = .9, P < .01).

Fig. 4 A, Ratio of calf-to-thigh incompetent perforating veins in limbs with documented perforating vein incompetence in different clinical classes of chronic venous insufficiency. There is significant increase with class (CEAP; r = 0.87, P < .01). B, Ratio of superficial and deep over superficial alone ([S + D]/S) vein incompetence in limbs with documented incompetent perforating veins across clinical spectrum of chronic venous insufficiency (r = .9, P < .01).

Fig. 5 Prevalence of limbs with 1, 2, 3, 4, or more incompetent perforating veins in different clinical classes (CEAP). There are no limbs with 3 or more incompetent perforating veins in classes 0 to 1. Ratio of limbs with 3 or more incompetent perforating veins to limbs with 1 to 2 incompetent perforating veins increases significantly with clinical severity (r = .9, P < .01).

Fig. 6 A, Prevalence of proximal (Prox), distal (Dist), or P + D (Prox + Dist) incompetence in different clinical, etiologic, anatomic, and pathologic classifications. Reflux in classes 2 to 6 involves both P and D segments. B, Overall prevalence of superficial, deep, or perforating vein incompetence across clinical spectrum of chronic venous insufficiency. Prevalence of perforating vein (r = .86, P < .01) and deep vein incompetence (r = .9, P < .01) increase with clinical severity. Prevalence of superficial vein incompetence changes little with clinical class (clinical, etiologic, anatomic, and pathologic classifications, 2 to 6).

Fig. 7 Prevalence of complex patterns of vein incompetence (superior + proximal [S + PV], superior + deep [S + D], D + PV, S + D + PV) in different clinical classes (CEAP) of chronic venous insufficiency. Incompetence involving all systems (S + D + PV) increases significantly with clinical severity (r = .9, P < .01).
