Chronic Venous Disease or CVD occurs when the blood in your legs cannot flow back to your heart. When this happens, pooling blood can raise pressure in your veins, causing a range of problems. 1 in 3 Americans over the age of 45 has some type of venous disease.5
Blockage of the deep venous circulation in the abdominal/pelvic area is now recognized as a cause of CVD. This can occur when either the iliac vein in your pelvis becomes compressed by the overlying artery, or from a blockage following deep vein thrombosis (DVT).1,2,3,4
