Venous insufficiency (VI) is a pathology that is underappreciated and commonly missed sonographically. When performed correctly, a sonographic evaluation lends information that can provide a minimally invasive treatment option for the patient. The purpose of this case study is to provide an overview of the essential steps in the sonographic evaluation for VI, highlighting components specific to radiofrequency ablation of the great saphenous vein.

Key Words: venous insufficiency • deep venous thrombosis • great saphenous vein • radiofrequency ablation
