Chronic Venous Insufficiency is a venous disease that can cause�venous�ulcer. This increased venous pressure can cause�micro-vascular lack of blood perfusion (ischemia) and swelling. Swelling can further impair tissue nutrition and oxygen diffusion�causing hypoxia. Veins can be damaged by surgery, trauma, or DVT, which causes a backflow of blood in the venous system at the point of damage.
