Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Pathophysiology

Background:

  • Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) frequently results in chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
  • CVI is characterized by progressive skin alterations over time.
  • The exact pathogenesis of these skin changes remains incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss the primary etiological theories behind skin changes in CVI.
  • To focus on the role of microcirculation in the development of these dermatological manifestations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of established hypotheses.
  • Synthesis of current understanding regarding microcirculatory dysfunction in CVI.
  • Analysis of proposed pathogenetic mechanisms for skin alterations.

Main Results:

  • Multiple theories exist regarding CVI pathogenesis.
  • Microcirculatory changes are central to the development of skin alterations.
  • Specific mechanisms linking venous hypertension to skin damage are discussed.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the pathogenesis of CVI-related skin changes is crucial for effective management.
  • Microcirculatory dysfunction plays a significant role in CVI skin manifestations.
  • Further research into these theories may improve therapeutic strategies.
