摘要
OBJECTIVES: Most studies on diagnostics and therapy of saphenous veins focus on great saphenous vein or sum up great and small saphenous vein. This study compares patients with an insufficiency of the great saphenous vein versus small saphenous vein. METHODS: Prospective study including 50 patients with untreated insufficiency of the great saphenous vein or small saphenous vein, respectively. Patients got a standardised phlebological examination and filled a vein-specific life quality questionnaire (SQOR-V). RESULTS: Great saphenous vein patients were significantly younger (p = 0.001), had more visible varicose veins (p < 0.001), a higher Venous Clinical Severity Score (p = 0.002) and had more symptoms, especially at midday (p = 0.0030) and evening (p = 0.078). They had significantly more concerns about worsening of their varicose veins (p = 0.009) and a vein disease in family members (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION: Great saphenous vein patients have more and sooner symptoms than small saphenous vein patients. This study discusses if the difference in symptoms is related to the difference in tributaries and a therapy of the tributaries is able to reduce the symptoms.
