"cted with latex demonstrated that Lejars’ concept of the venous sole of the foot is incorrect: the true plantar venous pump consists of the plantar veins, located deep between the plantar muscles and compressed by weight bearing during walking. The normal venous sole (Bourceret) is a thin network and its dilatation (Lejars) is pathological, attributed to severe distal venous stasis. The blood reservoir of the foot, which moves upwards as the result of manual compression of the plantar venous pump or weight bearing during walking, is located in the plantar veins. This is the reason why,"

In an electronic search of the pertinent English and French literature, ninety-three reports were identified, including 176 patients with 198 visceral venous aneurysms. Patients’ ages ranged from 0 to 87 years, and there was no apparent male/female preponderance. The commonest location was the portal venous system (87 of 93 reports, 170 of 176 patients, 191 of 198 aneurysms). Portal system venous aneurysms were present with abdominal pain (44.7%), gastrointestinal bleeding (7.3%), or were asymptomatic (38.2%). Portal hyp"

"parallel all-day meeting on venous diseases on Saturday. The CACVS meetings started 17 years ago under the very efficient management of J-P. BECQUEMIN, Y. ALIMI, and J-L. GERARD. All the invited speakers are acknowledged experts in vascular or endovascular surgery or promising newcomers to the field. As its title indicates, the meeting focuses on current problems and controversies. The pattern of the meetings remains unchanged: the speakers present their topic in 8 minutes, thus allowing ample time for questions and discussion. All the presentations, questions"

"oversies in Vascular Surgery”meeting, which is held in Paris every January, is an excellent example. This masterly report gives a well-balanced overview of the present state of discussions concerning the management of venous diseases of the lower extremities from the viewpoint of an experienced surgeon. The report is very helpful in clarifying the ongoing arguments between supporters of CHIVA and ASVAL and between believers in venous reflux and those who think that venous obstruction is essential. A phlebologist is well aware of aneurysms in the popliteal and"
