Unexpected venous diameter reduction by compression stocking of deep, but not of superficial veins

Morphological studies on the effect of compression on the leg veins are rare and mostly performed in the supine position. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of compression applied with different pressures on the venous calibre in the standing position. Standing magnetic resonance...
