1 The appropriate length of great saphenous vein stripping should be based on the extent of reflux and not on the intent to avoid saphenous nerve injury  Theodoros T. Kostas, MD, Christos V. Ioannou, MD, Michalis Veligrantakis, MD, Constantinos Pagonidis, MD, Asterios N. Katsamouris, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 46, Issue 6, Pages (December 2007) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Color duplex imaging (CDI) of a great saphenous vein (GSV) remnant at the 5-year follow-up examination. The perforator vein (perf) is competent (blue colored flow) with flow directed towards the posterior tibial vein (PTV). On the other hand, CDI revealed reflux (red colored flow) in the GSV remnant (arrow).
