Özet

Objective: Identification of iliocaval obstructions has traditionally been difficult due to the lack of a reliable noninvasive screening technique. Although femoral vein flow patterns have been used to detect outflow obstructions, the diagnostic accuracy of indirect Doppler parameters has not yet been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to establish the diagnostic value of the femoral vein waveform in detecting chronic iliocaval venous lesions.
