| The term varix is also used for similar abnormalities in arteries and in lymphatic vessels. |
| People with cardiovascular deficiencies or varix should wear compression stockings in order to avoid the sensation of heavy legs and swelling. |
| It is a common experience in women that the signs of varix date from an antecedent pregnancy. |
| The larger the varix the greater is the tendency for a thrombus to spread upwards and to involve the deep veins. |
| The outer lip of Falsilatirus forms a terminal varix that slightly ascends the spire, as in other Pisaniinae. |
| The operation most in favour consists in ligation of the artery above and below the varix, the vein remaining untouched. |
