2. Fig 1
Specimen 5088, male, left side. AASV is missing, PASV at 15.5 cm from the SFJ (not within the borders of the image). Position of the TV (0.8 cm) is indicated by the arrow; SCIV and SEV forming a common trunk at 0.3 cm, SEPV at 1.5 cm. (Insert) Schematic longitudinal section of the SFJ (grey); lines represent the levels of measurement. isv, infrasaphenic valve of the common femoral vein (CFV); ssv, suprasephanic valve of the CFV; TV, terminal valve of the GSV; PTV, preterminal valve of the GSV.

4. Fig 3
Histograms for TV, PTV, and major superficial tributary veins. Please note that the x-scale has been elongated for the first centimeter. Preterminal valves were defined as valves lying distally to the SCIV, SEV, SEPV, and AASV, but not to the PASV (PTV2).
