2. Chronic venous insufficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_venous_insufficiency

   The most common cause of chronic venous insufficiency is reflux of the venous valves of superficial veins. [2] This may in turn be caused by several conditions: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), that is, blood clots in the deep veins. Chronic venous insufficiency caused by DVT may be described as postthrombotic syndrome. DVT triggers an inflammatory ...

   Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is when the valves in the leg veins don’t work right and inappropriately allow blood to flow backward, back into the legs/feet from the effects of gravity.

4. Ultrasonography of chronic venous insufficiency of the legs

   The reversed blood pools in the low third of legs and feet. [17] Unlike in the arterial ultrasound study, when the sonographer studies venous insufficiency, the vein wall itself has no relevance and attention is focused on the direction of blood flow. The objective of the examination is to see how the veins drain.

5. Vascular disease - Wikipedia

   Venous insufficiency is the most common disorder of the venous system, and is usually manifested as either spider veins or varicose veins. Several treatments are available including endovenous thermal ablation (using radiofrequency or laser energy), vein stripping, ambulatory phlebectomy, foam sclerotherapy, laser, or compression.

6. Post-thrombotic syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-thrombotic_syndrome

   This valvular incompetence combined with persistent venous obstruction from thrombus increases the pressure in veins and capillaries. Venous hypertension induces a rupture of small superficial veins, subcutaneous hemorrhage [7] and an increase of tissue permeability. That is manifested by pain, swelling, discoloration, and even ulceration.

7. Deep vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

   Symptoms classically affect a leg and typically develop over hours or days, [20] though they can develop suddenly or over a matter of weeks. [21] The legs are primarily affected, with 4–10% of DVT occurring in the arms. [11] Despite the signs and symptoms being highly variable, [5] the typical symptoms are pain, swelling, and redness.
