AB In  order  to  treat  venous  problems  properly,  it  is  essential  to  understand  the  normal  pattern  of  venous  blood  flow  and  the  effects  of  venous  valves.  For  practical  purposes,  the  venous  system  of  the  leg  can  be  considered  to  have  two  major  parts,  a  deep  component  and  a  superficial  component.  The  superficial  veins  serve  as  a  primary  collecting  system  and  are  connected  through  perforating  veins  into  the  deep  veins,  which  normally  carry  about  90  percent  of  the  blood  from  the  leg  back  to  the  central  circulation.
