Related ContentVaricose veins are swollen and twisted veins resulting from the weakening of valves as well as the veins themselves. This leads to increased pressure on the legs of an individual.

However, both conditions can occur in other parts of the body.While the clots are unable to travel to the lungs, there is potential to have complications that may cause vein thrombosis as well as pulmonary embolism.00Related ContentVaricose veins are swollen and twisted veins resulting from the weakening of valves as well as the veins themselves.
