Fig 1 Arterial inflow examinations performed at rest and during postocclusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) demonstrated increased resting arterial inflow in patients with primary chronic venous insufficiency (1° CVI).

Fig 2 The increase in arterial inflow volume divided by the time to achieve maximum volumes represents the overall increased arterial inflow. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2008 48, 960-964DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2008.05.058) Copyright © 2008 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
Fig 3 *P = .008 vs normal resting arterial inflow, and P = .03 vs postthrombotic resting inflow. **P = .01 vs postthrombotic maximum increased inflow, and P = .08 vs 1° CVI maximum increased inflow. ***P = .003 vs postthrombotic overall increased inflow, and P = .01 vs 1° CVI overall increased inflow.
