2. Posterior tibial vein - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_tibial_vein

   They drain the posterior compartment of the leg and the plantar surface of the foot to the popliteal vein, which it forms when it joins with the anterior tibial vein. [1] The posterior tibial vein is accompanied by an homonym artery, the posterior tibial artery, along its course. [2] It lies posterior to the medial malleolus in the ankle. [2]

3. Popliteal vein - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popliteal_vein

   The popliteal vein is a vein of the lower limb. It is formed from the anterior tibial vein and the posterior tibial vein. It travels medial to the popliteal artery, and becomes the femoral vein. It drains blood from the leg. It can be assessed using medical ultrasound. It can be affected by popliteal vein entrapment.

4. Phlegmasia cerulea dolens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlegmasia_cerulea_dolens

   A person with a two hour history of phlegmasia cerulea dolens (left leg, right side of image) Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) (literally: 'painful blue inflammation'), not to be confused with preceding phlegmasia alba dolens , is an uncommon severe form of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that obstructs blood outflow from a vein.

5. Deep vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_vein_thrombosis

   Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of venous thrombosis involving the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs or pelvis. [9] [a] A minority of DVTs occur in the arms. [11] Symptoms can include pain, swelling, redness, and enlarged veins in the affected area, but some DVTs have no symptoms. [1]

6. Post-thrombotic syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-thrombotic_syndrome

   For people who have already had a single DVT event, the best way to prevent a second DVT is appropriate anticoagulation therapy. [20] A second prevention approach may be weight loss for those who are overweight or obese. Increased weight can put more stress and pressure on leg veins, and can predispose patients to developing PTS. [13]

7. Ultrasonography of chronic venous insufficiency of the legs

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonography_of_chronic...

   Also, unlike ultrasonography of deep venous thrombosis, the procedure focuses mainly on superficial veins. Also, unlike the arterial ultrasound examination, blood velocity in veins has no diagnostic meaning. Veins are a draining system similar to a low pressure hydraulic system, with a laminar flow and a low velocity.
