The function of the veins in the leg is to carry blood
towards the heart. In some individuals, the veins fail to perform this function
and the blood starts to reflux or flow backwards toward the feet and
ankles. When this occurs, blood collects in the veins. This is known
as venous stasis. Venous stasis can occur in any vein in the body but is most
commonly observed in the legs. The reason for this is that humans are upright
individuals. Prolonged standing and the pull of gravity make this disease
process even worse.
Years of untreated venous stasis may lead to skin discoloration from the deposits of red blood cells within the skin. This can progress to create open sores known as venous stasis ulcers. The surgeons at Vegas Valley Vein Institute are experts in diagnosing and treating venous stasis.
