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 occurs when veins cannot pump enough blood back to the heart. [16] It results when the vein dilates secondary to a vein wall disease or when normal functioning of the valves, which serve to keep blood flowing to the heart and to prevent reflux, become damaged and/or incompetent (the dilation of a vein will prevent ...

The venous circulation going back to the heart, on the other hand, is a low-pressure system with a central venous pressure around 5mm Hg. This means that the movement of blood has to rely heavily on what’s called the skeletal muscle pump, which is just a way of saying that it relies on the contraction of surrounding skeletal muscles, which ...
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.

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.
CHIVA method is a type of surgery used to treat varicose veins that occur as a result of long term venous insufficiency. [1] The term is a French acronym for Conservatrice Hémodynamique de l'Insuffisance Veineuse en Ambulatoire (ambulatory conservative hemodynamic treatment venous insufficiency).
