Image2 Caption2 DrainsFrom DrainsTo Artery MeshName MeshNumber Deepvein is a term used to describe a vein that is deep in the body. It is used to differentiate deep veins from veins which are close to the surface, also known as superficial vein s. Deep veins are almost always beside an artery with the same name e.g. the femoral vein is beside the femoral artery . Collectively, they carry the vast majority of the blood. Occlusion of a deepvein can be life threatening and is most often caused by thrombosis . Occlusion of a deepvein by thrombosis is called deepveinthrombosis . Deep veins are these blood vessels which are embedded far into the flesh, and if needing operation, it can be difficult.

The surgery involves making one or more incisions upon the desired area usually the groin or leg followed by insertion of a special wire into the vein. The wire is tied to and advanced through the vein to a desired depth. The vein is then pulled out from the body. The incisions are stitched up, and pressure dressings are applied to the incision. An overnight hospital stay is sometimes required, although some clinics may do it as a day surgery procedure. Patients may be advised to avoid physical activity for days or weeks. A pressure bandage followed by elastic stockings is a common recovery prescription. As with any surgery that requires anesthesia , patients might experience some complications.

It is used to differentiate veins that are close to the surface from veins that are far from the surface, known as deepvein s. Superficial veins are not paired with an artery, unlike the deep veins, which typically have an artery with the same name close by. Superficial veins are important physiology physiologically for cooling of the body . When the body is too hot the body shunts blood from the deepvein s to the superficial veins, to facilitate heat transfer to the surroundings. Superficial veins can be seen under the skin. Those below the level of the heart tend to bulge out. An immediate way to see this by looking at your hand raise it above your heart and the blood should drain lower it below your heart it will fill. Veins become more visually prominent when lifting heavy weight, especially after a period of proper strength training . Physiologically, the superficial veins are not as important as the deep veins as they carry less blood and are sometimes removed in a procedure called vein stripping , which is used to treat varicose vein s.
