A 37 year-old woman presents complaining of chronic left lower extremity pain and edema. There is no reported history of deep vein thrombosis. She responds to a questionnaire that she experiences chronic pelvic pain and dyspareunia which is severe enough that she limits the frequency of intercourse. Physical exam reveals only a few small varices in the lower extremities. What is the most likely cause of the symptoms?
Correct Answer
C. Iliac vein compression

Patient with CEAP C4 and IVUS Iliac vein obstruction > 50%. What would be the best treatment option?
Correct Answer
D. D. Iliac vein stenting
Explanation
For a patient with CEAP C4 and IVUS Iliac vein obstruction > 50%, the best treatment option would be iliac vein stenting. This is because iliac vein stenting is an effective intervention for treating iliac vein obstruction, which is causing symptoms such as pain, swelling, and skin changes in the patient's lower extremities. Coumadin, a blood thinner, may be used as part of the treatment, but it alone would not address the underlying obstruction. Venoactive drugs and compression therapy may be helpful in managing symptoms, but they would not treat the underlying cause of the obstruction.

A patient presents with cosmetic complaints of varicose veins in both groin and down the GSV tract. In your physical examination you find a varicose vein crossing the pubic region from one SFJ to the other. What is the appropriate course of action?
Correct Answer
D. D. Imaging of the iliocaval tract
Explanation
The appropriate course of action in this case is to perform imaging of the iliocaval tract. The patient's presentation of varicose veins in both the groin and down the GSV tract, along with the finding of a varicose vein crossing the pubic region from one SFJ to the other, suggests the possibility of underlying venous insufficiency in the iliocaval tract. Imaging of the iliocaval tract, such as a duplex ultrasound or venography, can help to assess the extent and severity of the venous insufficiency and guide further treatment decisions. Sclero-compression treatment, endovenous thermal ablation, and crossectomy and stripping may be considered as treatment options depending on the findings from the imaging.
