Dear colleagues,
This text is proving to be quite challenging and mind-boogling!. This is a report of colour Doppler ultrasounds.
What does * in atto pervio e continente * mean here?
demodulato il flusso tibiale e pedideo bilateralmente , più marcatamente a dx; circolo venoso profondo *in atto pervio e continente*
Thanks a trillion for all your help :)

(currently) no (evidence of )obstruction/incompetence
Joseph has already explained most of it.
Continente is competent/sufficient in the context of veins, meaning there is no backflow, no recirculation, no valve incompetence.
My feeling is:
- 'in atto' could be omitted in English.
- An English report would probably use the negative form for (absent) pathologies: Rather than saying "patent and sufficient/competent", something like "no obstruction/no insufficiency" would be used.
(OK, chances are fair they would just say "normal" rather than listing absent pathologies, but that is probably too free a translation ;-)
HTH.

Discussion
Online definition of "competent" = "Referring to a valve or vessel that closes normally or appropriately retains fluid within its lumen." Clearly fits your description of the deep venous circulation.
So here, I'd say it just means "currently" or "at this time."
You want to use "patent" for "pervio" (meaning open, not occluded)
I don't have a ready translation for "continente" ... no time to look it up. One of our helpful colleagues will surely soon come up with that.
