About this study

The study is focused on clinical anatomy of superficial veins of lower limbs. We are mapping their anatomy via ultrasonography. We are focusing on saphenopopliteal junction and communicants between small saphenous vein and great saphenous vein.

Read the detailed description

Research project is focused on superficial veins of lower extremities, especially their clinical anatomy. Superficial veins are located within the compartimentum saphenum. The function of superficial veins is drainage of intradermal and epifascial spaces. Superficial veins and their function are fundamental in development of chronic venous disorder. These veins are physiologically connected with deep venous system via perforators but also between each other via communicanting veins. Communicanting veins between small saphenous vein and great saphenous vein have not been described yet, particularly because of their variations. Clinically important is also the saphenopopliteal junction in the fossa poplitea. This region features many variations, which were described in many studies. Also, the nomenclature of saphenopopliteal juction is not standardised in comparison to the saphenofemoral junction. Moreover, many articles are pointing out that there were not specified all potential drainage ways of the cranial extension of small saphenous vein (extesio cranialis). Articles are uniform neither in its prevalence nor in its terminology.

The knowledge of connections between the superficial and deep venous systems as well as knowledge of communicanting veins between superficial veins is important for diagnosis and proper treatment of chronic venous disorder. Variabilities of these veins can play fundamental role in choosing the proper graft for aorto-coronary bypass grafting. The ununiformed nomenclature of superficial veins, their communicating veins and junctions can cause misleading preoperative diagnosis and overlooking of these structures in clinical practise.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Saphenous Vein Injury, run by Charles University, Czech Republic at 1 site in Czechia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Czechia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Anatomy of superficial Veins of Lower Limbs (time frame: 2022-2024). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Feb 2023.
