    Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition characterized by blood pooling in the veins, leading to increased pressure and strain on the vein walls. [1] The most common cause of CVI is superficial venous reflux, which often results in the formation of varicose veins, a treatable condition. [2]

    Major surgery and trauma increase risk because of tissue factor from outside the vascular system entering the blood. [62] Minor injuries, [63] lower limb amputation, [64] hip fracture, and long bone fractures are also risks. [9] In orthopedic surgery, venous stasis can be temporarily provoked by a cessation of blood flow as part of the ...

  9. May–Thurner syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May–Thurner_syndrome

    Because of its similarities to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), May–Thurner syndrome is rarely diagnosed amongst the general population. In this condition, the right iliac artery sequesters and compresses the left common iliac vein against the lumbar section of the spine, [5] resulting in swelling of the legs and ankles, pain, tingling, and/or numbness in the legs and feet.
