A failed Valsalva manoeuvre with normal augmentation can be a result of several conditions, including chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and chronic venous obstruction. CVI is a condition that is caused due to damage or weakened veins in the lower legs, the damage causes the valves that usually would stop blood refluxing to no longer shut therefor allowing continuous flow. where as chronic venous obstructions can also cause similar symptoms due to a complete or partial occlusion within the IVC and iliac veins region such as the , this obstruction can cause hypertension within the lower leg venous systems cause flow to continue during the Valsalva manoeuvre.

Solution

A failed Valsalva manoeuvre with normal augmentation can be caused by various conditions, such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and chronic venous obstruction. CVI occurs when the veins in the lower legs are damaged or weakened, which prevents the valves from closing properly and allows blood to flow continuously. On the other hand, chronic venous obstructions can also lead to similar symptoms by causing a complete or partial blockage in the IVC and iliac veins region. This obstruction can result in increased pressure in the lower leg veins, causing blood flow to persist during the Valsalva manoeuvre.

When performing a bilateral lower limb DVT study, you notice the Valsalva manoeuvre did not result in the flow ceasing but the augmentation worked well for both legs. After asking the patient, you find out that they had already had a d-dimer test that had come back as a low risk for DVT and had no obvious risk factors. What other pathological conditions could cause this, and given this is what the doctor suspected, how do you think the patient may have appeared on a physical examination to the doctor for them to suspect this.

A 40-year-old woman presented with large bulging veins in both thighs and lower legs. Her primary concern was the unsightly aesthetic appearance of the varicose veins but on further questioning, she revealed that she was experiencing heaviness, tiredness and throbbing in the lower legs. She worked as a medical assistant, which involved constant standing for hours, at daily basis. By the end of the day, her legs were extremely fatigued, and it would take several hours of leg elevation to make them feel better. There was no past medical history of deep venous thrombosis. Duplex Ultrasound examination revealed a varicose great saphenous vein bilaterally running from the groin to the mid-distal thigh. Examination of the deep veins of both lower limbs showed no evidence of occlusion in the external iliac, common femoral, popliteal, anterior and posterior tibialis, and peroneal. Which of the following mechanisms is most likely to explain the patient's findings?    Group of answer choicesFailure of arteriovenous anastomosesFailure of venous valves in the deep veinsPredominance of smooth muscle cells of a synthetic phenotype in venous wallsMutation of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 geneDysfunctional endothelium producing increased levels of vasodilatory mediators

3. An abnormal swelling of a superficial vein of the legs is called a varicose vein (Figure 3). What do you think causes this condition, and why aren’t there varicose arteries?
