A member asked:
Could you tell me what chronic venous insuffiency from a dvt leading to ulcers is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post-thrombotic : Post-thrombotic syndrome is the result of a DVT injuring the valves in your veins, which leads to venous insufficiency. This can lead to a cascade of events which may cause ulcers on the leg.
