Here, we present a 69-year-old man with a history of right small saphenous vein \u201cstripping\u201d, presenting for the treatment of symptomatic lower limb varicose veins. Duplex ultrasound of the right lower limb outlined the pathway of venous incompetence. Despite the history of \u201cstripping\u201d, the small saphenous vein was present but the sapheno-popliteal junction was ligated at the level of the knee crease. No other unusual findings were reported at the time. During ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, subcutaneous vessels of the right posterior calf were noted to be pulsatile on B-mode ultrasound. Treatment was interrupted. Subsequent angiography and sonography showed absence of the right distal popliteal artery. A cluster of subcutaneous vessels of the right medial and posterior calf were found to be arterial collaterals masquerading as varicose veins. Injection sclerotherapy of these vessels would have resulted in significant tissue loss. This case highlights the importance of vigilance at the time of treatment and the invaluable role of ultrasound in guiding endovenous interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0268355514543940","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,25]],"date-time":"2014-07-25T23:26:25Z","timestamp":1406330785000},"page":"729-735","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Arteries masquerading as varicose veins: A trap for phlebologists"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"L","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, Phlebology and Fluid Mechanics Research Laboratory, St. Vincent\u2019s Centre for Applied Medical Research (AMR), St. Vincent\u2019s Hospital, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Parsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, Phlebology and Fluid Mechanics Research Laboratory, St. Vincent\u2019s Centre for Applied Medical Research (AMR), St. Vincent\u2019s Hospital, Sydney, Australia"},{"name":"Phlebology Vascular Laboratory, Sydney Skin and Vein Clinic, Sydney, Australia"},{"name":"St. Vincent\u2019s Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0268355514543940","first-page":"102","volume":"4","author":"Varcoe P","year":"2000","journal-title":"Aust NZJ Phleb"},{"key":"bibr2-0268355514543940","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/phleb.2012.012s09"},{"key":"bibr3-0268355514543940","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/phleb.2011.010098"},{"key":"bibr4-0268355514543940","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/phleb.2011.011155"},{"key":"bibr5-0268355514543940","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.2010.01814.x"},{"key":"bibr6-0268355514543940","first-page":"165","volume":"57","author":"Schadeck M","year":"2004","journal-title":"Phlebology"},{"key":"bibr7-0268355514543940","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2007.07.011"},{"key":"bibr8-0268355514543940","first-page":"35","volume":"59","author":"Lemasle P","year":"2006","journal-title":"Phlebology"},{"key":"bibr9-0268355514543940","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1445-2197.2006.03597.x"},{"key":"bibr10-0268355514543940","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.09.2631"},{"key":"bibr11-0268355514543940","volume-title":"Vascular and interventional radiology","author":"Valji K","year":"2006","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr12-0268355514543940","first-page":"59","volume":"11","author":"Tayama K","year":"2005","journal-title":"Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg"},{"key":"bibr13-0268355514543940","unstructured":"Hennerici M, Neuerburg-Heusler D.
