Abstract
A light-microscopic study of varicose specimens and the inside surface of the varicose vein wall. To determine what appeared obvious during microsurgical dissection of varicose veins 1) arteriovenous anastomoses(AVAs) connecting to varicose convexities, 2) and from flow study experience the influence of shear stress on the vein wall and its endothelium caused by the speed and force of arterial flow transmitted through the AVAs.
