F.Trendelenburg 1891

Definition
This section has been translated automatically.

In phlebology, the term F.Trendelenburg refers to patholomgic venous hemodynamics caused by valve insufficiency (e.g. crosses). Due to the lack of valve function, the blood does not flow unidirectionally heartward through a muscle contraction in a vein, but at the same time flows retrogradely back into the periphery. Via insufficient Vv.perforantes, the blood again reaches the deep venous system. See also under recirculation circuit.
