Does venous insufficiency cause dvts ?

Dvt: DVT happens in veins where blood movement is sluggish or even minimal. Venous stasis predisposes to DVT. Particularly when leg muscles are not active.

CVI AND DVT: Venous insufficiency does not cause DVT but DVT can lead to venous insufficiency. DVT can lead to occlusion and disruption of the venous valves which will lead to venous blood backing up leading to venous hypertension which will then lead to chronic venous insufficiency .
