                  In TA, all the veins of the foot were listed as superficial veins but should be identified according to their location, superficial or deep (Caggiati et al. 2002 J Vasc Surg 36:416-422; Kachlik et al. 2010 Phlebology 25:113-123, ibid. 2012,  27:48-58).
                 |

                  Three accessory veins to the great saphenous vein were listed, anterior, posterior and superficial, by Caggiati et al. (2002) Nomenclature of the veins of the lower limbs: An international interdisciplinary consensus statement. J Vasc Surg 36:416-422.
                 |

                  It has been suggested to separate the perforating veins. For  further subdivision, see Caggiati et al. (2002) J Vasc Surg 36:416-422; Caggiati et al. 2005 J Vasc Surg 41:719-724).
                 | 
| 4805 | 
                  The sural veins comprise soleal, gastrocnemius and intergemellar veins (Caggiati et al. 2002 J Vasc Surg 36:416-422; Kachlik et al. 2012 Phlebology 27:48-58).
                 | 
| 4806 | 
                  At the knee, veins are arranged in a complex plexus of interconnecting veins (Caggiati et al. 2002 J Vasc Surg 36:416-422; Kachlik et al. 2012 Phlebology 27:48-58).
                 | 
| 4808 | 
                  The deeper veins of the foot, accompanying the deeper arteries, are listed (Caggiati et al. 2002 J Vasc Surg 36:416-422; Kachlik et al. 2012 Phlebology 27:48-58).
                 |

                  The saphenofemoral junction is the termination of the great saphenous vein into the common femoral vein (Caggiati et al. 2002 J Vasc Surg 36:416-422; Caggiati et al. 2005 J Vasc Surg 41:719-724; Kachlik et al. 2010 Phlebology 25:162-173).
                 | 
| 15582 | 
                  The saphenopopliteal junction is the termination of the small saphenous vein into the popliteal vein (Caggiati et al. 2002, 2005; Kachlik et al. 2012).
                 | 
| 15583 | 
                  This venous confluence receives blood from superficial veins in the lower abdominal wall, and is bordered by terminal and preterminal valves (Caggiati et al. 2002 J Vasc Surg 36:416-422; Kachlik et al. 2012 Phlebology 27:48-58).
                 | 
| 15586 | 
                  This extension is a cranial/proximal continuation of the small saphenous vein, ascending from the fossa poplitea on the posterior asppect of the thigh (Sagoo et al. 2004 Phlebology 33:1-7; Cavezzi et al. 2006 Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 31:288-299).
                 | 
| 15587 | 
                  The cranial/proximal extension of the small saphenous vein may continue as the Intersaphenous vein of the thigh (Sagoo et al. 2004 Phlebology 33:1-7; Cavezzi et al. 2006 Eur J Vasc Endovasv Surg 31:288-299).
                 | 
| 15814 | 
                  New term for the proximal part of the femoral vein before the entrance of the deep femoral vein (Caggiati et al. 2002, 2005; Kachlik et al. 2012).
                 | 
| 15815 | 
                  New term for the deep veins accompanying perforant arteries of the thigh (Caggiati et al. 2002, 2005; Kachlik et al. 2012).
                 | 
| 15816 | 
                  New term for the vein accompanying the sciatic nerve (Caggiati et al. 2002 J Vasc Surg 36:416-422; Kachlik et al. 2012 Phlebology 27:48-58).
                 | 
| 15821 | 
                  The intergemellar vein ascends between the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius muscle (Kachlik et al. 2012 Phlebology 27:48-58).
