Venous valves rank among the smallest and most delicate organs of
the human and animal bodies - so why devote an entire book to them?
We were induced to do so by several reasons. First of all we would
point out the clinical significance of venous valves. In the
pathogenesis of a number of widespread diseases, such as varicose
veins or the post-thrombotic syndrome, venous valves are involved
as the underlying cause or at least a factor contributory to the
symptoms. According to Taheri et al. these venous diseases occur
ten times more frequently than arterial obliterations. Incompetence
of venous valves also plays a causal role in varicocele, the most
frequent cause of male infertility. But not only pathogenetic
reasons induced us to write this book. In more recent times there
has been a growing tendency to reconstruct functional valve
disorders therapeutically; several surgical methods have been
developed, which are critically reviewed in this book. It was our
aim to sum up existing knowledge with respect to structure and
function of venous valves and to expand that knowl edge by findings
of our own. Examinations of semi-thin sections and unilayered
en-face preparations have hardly been published so far, and
systematic studies of the ultrastructure by electron-microscopy
were not to be found in the literature. We are very grateful,
therefore, to Dr. Silvana Geleff for having undertaken such a study
upon our suggestion."
