Abstract
Many patients with chronic venous insufficiency syndrome caused by the ''relative valvular incompetency'' with venous dilatation. Eighty-six per cent of the cases can be cured by reducing the femoral venous dia meter by simply using the encircling suture method just distal to the first femoral valvular sinus. Our preliminary results suggest that suc h a method of surgical treatment is simple and efficient.
