What does it means when venous report say partially compressible great and small saphenous veins .

Vague finding.: Normally during a venous ultrasound, the greater and small saphenous veins should be fully compressible meaning that they are soft and do not contain clots. This , however, is not 100% foolproof. Sometimes , depending on the the equipment used and experience of the ultrasonographer, veins may appear partially compressible. Any old inflammation of a vein may also thicken its walls causing this.

Not dangerous: Partly compressible veins often result after prior clot in vein. Clot in saphenous veins usually not dangerous, & slowly resorbs. Clot can be painful when fresh ("phlebitis"). After its resorbed often some scar & debris in vein & wall thick & stiff, so vein partly compressible. May also be backflow or reflux of blood in vein. Why was vein test done? If leg swells or sore vein treatment may help.
