Hina Wajid: Venae Comitantes and DVT Ultrasound Assessment
Hina Wajid, Founder at Scan Point, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Can One Vein Have DVT While the Other Is Normal?
One Artery Can Have TWO Accompanying Veins
These paired veins are called Venae Comitantes!
They are commonly found alongside deep arteries in the upper and lower limbs.
Where Do We Find Them?
Upper Limb
Radial artery plus Radial veins
Ulnar artery plus Ulnar veins
Brachial artery plus Brachial veins
Lower Limb
Anterior tibial artery plus Anterior tibial veins
Posterior tibial artery plus Posterior tibial veins
Fibular artery plus Fibular veins
Ultrasound Appearance
In transverse view, you may see:
Vein Artery Vein (V A V)
Artery: Pulsatile
Veins: Normally compressible
Color Doppler: Helps identify blood flow
Important RVT Point!
During DVT scanning, remember that one accompanying vein may contain thrombus while the other remains patent.
Always examine both veins when present!
Memory Line: One VIP Artery plus Two Venous Bodyguards!
