High prevalence of right-to-left shunt in patients with symptomatic great saphenous incompetence and varicose veins
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 10/20/09
Wright DD et al. – The prevalence of R–L shunt in patients with GSV incompetence CEAP C3–5 in this study was higher than expected in the general population. TCD does not differentiate between intracardiac shunts and intrapulmonary shunts, so this observation needs further investigation. This link between R–L shunt and varicose veins is novel and, whether etiologic or functional, may improve the understanding of both conditions.
