The main prerequisites for successful reconstructive venous surgery include (1) critical selection of patients according to morphological and functional diagnostic aspects; (2) optimal surgical techniques; (3) the routine use of intraoperative lumen control in all disobliterative procedures (vascular endoscopy, phlebography); and (4) selective use of protective measures (temporary a.v. fistula, anticoagulans). Expanded PTFE-prostheses with increased microporosity and external ring support are the most suitable substitutes for big veins. Antireflux surgery, such as valvuloplasty, transposition technique and free valvular transfer, is a new approach for the repair of deep venous insufficiency.

D011186	Postphlebitic Syndrome	A condition characterized by a chronically swollen limb, often a leg with stasis dermatitis and ulcerations. This syndrome can appear soon after phlebitis or years later. Postphlebitic syndrome is the result of damaged or incompetent venous valves in the limbs. Distended, tortuous VARICOSE VEINS are usually present. Leg pain may occur after long period of standing.
