Varicose Veins Normally, the valves help blood flow to your heart. When they don't work right, blood pools inside your veins. They swell and become large and rope-like. That's another difference from DVT -- the surface-level clots that come with varicose veins don't usually break free and travel to your lungs.
There are primary and secondary causes of varicose veins. Primary causes are congenital and/or may develop from inherited conditions. Secondary causes generally result from factors other than congenital factors. CLINICAL FEATURES Clinical onset usually takes place when varicosities in the affected leg or legs appear.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins. Varicose veins can happen anywhere in the body, but are more common in the legs. Varicose veins are not considered a serious medical condition. But, they can be uncomfortable and can lead to more serious problems.
It has been known that varicose veins in the legs are caused by weakening of the veins and valves in the great saphenous veins and/or small saphenous veins. When the valves in these malfunction, blood begins to collect in the legs resulting in the buildup of pressure.
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted blood vessels that bulge just under your skin's surface. These blue or purple bulges usually appear in your legs, feet and ankles. They can be painful or itchy. Spider veins, which may surround varicose veins, are smaller red or purple lines that appear close to your skin's surface.

Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and twisted. The term commonly refers to the veins on the leg, although varicose veins can occur elsewhere. Veins have pairs of leaflet valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards (retrograde flow or venous reflux). Leg muscles pump the veins to return blood to the heart (the skeletal-muscle pump), against the effects of gravity. When veins become varicose, the leaflets of the valves no longer meet properly, and the valves do not work (valvular incompetence). This allows blood to flow backwards and they enlarge even more. Varicose veins are most common in the superficial veins of the legs, which are subject to high pressure when standing. Besides being a cosmetic problem, varicos e veins can be painful, especially when standing. Severe long-standing varicose veins can lead to leg swelling, venous eczema, skin thickening (lipodermatosclerosis) and ulceration. Life-threatening complications are uncommon, but varicose veins may be confused with deep vein thrombosis, which may be life-threatening.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I83.891 and a single ICD9 code, 454.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
