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.
Venous blood is typically colder than arterial blood, [1] and has a lower oxygen content and pH. It also has lower concentrations of glucose and other nutrients and has higher concentrations of urea and other waste products. The difference in the oxygen content of arterial blood and venous blood is known as the arteriovenous oxygen difference.
Venous thrombosis is the blockage of a vein caused by a thrombus (blood clot). A common form of venous thrombosis is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), when a blood clot forms in the deep veins. If a thrombus breaks off ( embolizes) and flows to the lungs to lodge there, it becomes a pulmonary embolism (PE), a blood clot in the lungs.
Chronic venous insufficiency ( CVI) is a medical condition in which blood pools in the veins, straining the walls of the vein. [ 1] The most common cause of CVI is superficial venous reflux which is a treatable condition. [ 2] As functional venous valves are required to provide for efficient blood return from the lower extremities, this ...
Venous stasis, or venostasis, is a condition of slow blood flow in the veins, usually of the legs. Presentation. Complications. Potential complications of venous ...
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.
The peripheral vascular system is the part of the circulatory system that consists of the veins and arteries not in the chest or abdomen (i.e. in the arms, hands, legs and feet ). [ 1][ 2] The peripheral arteries supply oxygenated blood to the body, and the peripheral veins lead deoxygenated blood from the capillaries in the extremities back to ...
Cephalic vein. In human anatomy, the cephalic vein (also called the antecubital vein) [ 1] is a superficial vein in the arm. It originates from the radial end of the dorsal venous network of hand, and ascends along the radial (lateral) side of the arm before emptying into the axillary vein. At the elbow, it communicates with the basilic vein ...
