Venous insufficiency is a result of obstruction of venous valves in legs . Superficial and deep leg veins are often involved. Valvular incompetence is the common cause of venous insufficiency. When this venous insufficiency is left untreated ,the disease progresses and leads to chronic venous insufficiency. Veins with thin walls distend readily when venous pressure is consistently elevated.
