This case report describes the treatment of varicose veins and other venous abnormalities in the hand and forearm of a patient. The treatment involved mapping and marking the refluxing veins and disconnecting them from the competent veins in two stages, without using phlebectomy, laser, or sclerosants. This resulted in the faded color of the hand angioma, collapsed varicose veins, and dramatically relieved heaviness, sweating, and cured ulnar neuralgia. The disconnections closed shunts that were overloading the hand and relieving symptoms.

5. Shunts: closed shunt ( 1 escape point disconnection) and
open deviated shunts ( 2,3,4,5,6 escape points
disconnection) overload the hand extra-truncular venous
malformation and angioma and harms the ulnar nerve.
Their disconnection relieves signs and symptoms.
Random disconnections and/or ablation could be
inefficient or aggravate the disease ( excess of residual
pressure and impaired drainage属
Why 2 steps?
Excessive disconnections would hamper the
physiological drainage of the hand as well as the
angioma would . Thus, progressive disconnection.
