Across
- 3. Is the retrograde flow of blood in the veins of the lower extremity and results in venous hypertension
- 5. removal of veins through small incisions in the leg

- 8. palpable, distended veins greater than 4 mm in diameter. They can be primary or secondary in nature.
- 9. laser or high frequency radio frequencies to create intense heat that collapses the vein and heals it shut

- 1. This condition refers to venous incompetence or flow reversal in the veins which can lead to venous hypertension in the distal veins
- 2. Refers to damage to the vein post DVT. When a DVT resolves it can leave fibrous strand which can increase the risk of recurring DVT
