Abstract

A case of complete aplasia of the great saphenous vein (GSV) is described. A 60 year-old woman presented with signs and symptoms of chronic venous disease (CVD) to the vascular laboratory. The patient was examined using duplex ultrasound (DU) and was found to have aplasia of the GSV in her left leg from the lower calf to sapheno-femoral junction (SFJ). The contralateral GSV had segmental aplasia.
