Morphologic changes in iliac veins and inferior vena cava in patients with primary varicose veins.
L. Dzieciuchowicz

During high ligation and stripping in 20 patients with primary varicose veins, the author used intravascular ultrasound to detect nonthrombotic stenosis of iliac veins and the inferior vena cava. No intraluminal lesions were detected, but stenosis of the iliac veins seemed to be common in patients with primary varicose veins.
