Abstract
- Venous flow normally circulates from the skin to superficial veins, which drain into the deep veins and the heart. Venous reflux refers to blood flow that flows in the opposite direction. Venous reflux is caused by gravity and valvular insufficiency. Diagnosing venous reflux is important to determine treatment for lower extremity venous disease. Unlike arteries, venous reflux is greatly affected by the relative position of the probe and the vessel. Standardized ultrasound images are required to verify venous reflux using ultrasound. It is important to perform the reflux provocation test using the standardized posture and method.
