What Is Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)?

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) describes the disease characterized by improperly functioning vein valves. To understand vein disease, we must first understand how healthy veins work. All veins that function properly with healthy valves allow blood to move toward the heart while standing and sitting. When functioning correctly, the valves inside veins will prevent blood from flowing backward and causing pressure and the pooling of blood in the lower leg. The pull of gravity is most significant at the lower part of the leg.

So, what happens if those valves begin not closing correctly? As you can imagine, when those valves are not working properly, there can be a pooling of blood in the lower leg, causing the veins of the legs to enlarge and press against nerves near the skin and causing the sensation of pain. When the veins become engorged, you may experience swelling, redness, itching, and dry skin. These are symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). If you do not treat these symptoms, they may become severe, and ulcers (open areas) can begin to form.

At Vein & Body Specialists, we see cases of chronic venous insufficiency from various factors. If you have hypertension, extended periods of sitting and standing can cause flares in CVI. If you have a relatively sedentary lifestyle, or incorporate habits like smoking, these factors may also contribute to CVI. Deep vein thrombosis is another contributor to chronic venous insufficiency. Contact our Bellevue, OH office to learn more about CVI.

Who Gets Chronic Venous Insufficiency?

Almost anyone can develop CVI if the vein valves begin not working correctly. Some people, however, are predisposed to develop this condition. The most common cause of chronic venous insufficiency is blood clots that form in the deep veins, causing damage to the valves.

About Us
What Happens if Chronic Venous Insufficiency is Left Untreated?
When left untreated, chronic venous insufficiency symptoms can become more painful and immobilizing. Not only that, but more serious conditions can develop, like worsening blood clots, bleeding veins, and ulcers.
Will CVI Go Away?
No, chronic venous insufficiency will not go away on its own, nor can it be completely "cured." However, the symptoms of CVI and the condition itself can be managed with proper treatment and care.
Which Treatment Should I Get for Chronic Venous Insufficiency?
The most appropriate and effective treatment for your chronic venous insufficiency or other vein problems will be best determined during a private consultation with our team. Depending on the nature and extent of your symptoms and condition, we may recommend endovenous laser therapy, sclerotherapy, or another treatment to help relieve your CVI symptoms.
