Definition
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition where the veins in the legs fail to adequately return blood to the heart, leading to symptoms such as swelling, pain, and skin changes. This condition can result from damaged vein valves or weak vein walls and often requires ongoing management to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications such as venous ulcers or deep vein thrombosis.
