style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pacientes con <\/span><b>insuficiencia venosa cr\u00f3nica primaria<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pueden nacer con esta afecci\u00f3n. Pueden tener paredes venosas anormales o menos elastina, lo que significa que sus venas no se estiran tan bien como otras. En cualquier caso, estos problemas est\u00e1n fuera de nuestro control y no se derivan de otra afecci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Insuficiencia venosa cr\u00f3nica secundaria<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> es secundaria a otra enfermedad. Y a menudo se desarrolla porque el paciente ya tiene trombosis venosa profunda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La trombosis venosa profunda, o TVP, es una enfermedad en la que se forman co\u00e1gulos de sangre en las venas, generalmente en las piernas(3). La TVP desencadena una inflamaci\u00f3n que da\u00f1a las paredes de las venas. Esto provoca una insuficiencia venosa cr\u00f3nica secundaria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El riesgo de padecer IVC puede aumentar si la persona es mujer, obesa o est\u00e1 embarazada. Fumar tambi\u00e9n aumenta el riesgo. Estar de pie durante mucho tiempo y padecer el s\u00edndrome de May-Thurner tambi\u00e9n lo hacen(1).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las venas devuelven la sangre al coraz\u00f3n, empuj\u00e1ndola hacia arriba desde las piernas. Para ello, los m\u00fasculos de las pantorrillas y las v\u00e1lvulas de las venas trabajan conjuntamente.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sin embargo, los pacientes con insuficiencia venosa cr\u00f3nica pueden sufrir fugas u obstrucciones en las venas. Esto provoca un aumento de la presi\u00f3n en las extremidades inferiores. El flujo sangu\u00edneo, las obstrucciones venosas, las v\u00e1lvulas y los m\u00fasculos de la pantorrilla influyen en la presi\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuando la IVC es secundaria a la TVP, la lesi\u00f3n repetida de la pared venosa por la TVP provoca la cicatrizaci\u00f3n de las venas. Estas cicatrices estrechan el paso de la sangre, aumentando la presi\u00f3n venosa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chronic_Venous_Insufficiency_Symptoms\"><\/span><b>S\u00edntomas de la insuficiencia venosa cr\u00f3nica<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9384\" src=\"https:\/\/amsvein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/90-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" \/><br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los pacientes con insuficiencia venosa cr\u00f3nica (IVC) experimentan dolor, molestias en las piernas, hinchaz\u00f3n de tobillos y piernas, o picaz\u00f3n.

Fumar restringe el flujo sangu\u00edneo en las extremidades inferiores. La nicotina tambi\u00e9n afecta a la elasticidad de las venas. Dejar de fumar puede mejorar mucho la salud de las venas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Llevar una dieta equilibrada tambi\u00e9n es fundamental. El exceso de peso corporal puede ejercer una presi\u00f3n adicional sobre las piernas, empeorando los s\u00edntomas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blood_flow_improvements\"><\/span><b>Mejoras en el flujo sangu\u00edneo<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elevar las piernas puede ayudar a mejorar el flujo sangu\u00edneo. Pruebe a sentarse con las piernas elevadas por encima de los muslos o a tumbarse con las piernas por encima del coraz\u00f3n. Esto tambi\u00e9n reduce la hinchaz\u00f3n de las piernas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otra forma de mejorar el flujo sangu\u00edneo es hacer ejercicio con regularidad. Tambi\u00e9n existe la rehabilitaci\u00f3n mediante ejercicios. Los pacientes con IVC observaron mejoras en 5 meses tras realizar ejercicios regulares de los m\u00fasculos de la pantorrilla(10).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Las medias de compresi\u00f3n son un tratamiento est\u00e1ndar para ayudar a restablecer el flujo sangu\u00edneo venoso. La compresi\u00f3n es mayor alrededor del tobillo. Esta presi\u00f3n disminuye a medida que se asciende por la pierna, lo que favorece el flujo sangu\u00edneo (9).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medications\"><\/span><b>Medicamentos<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Administraci\u00f3n de Alimentos y Medicamentos de EE.UU. no ha aprobado ning\u00fan medicamento para la IVC.

El tratamiento de estas venas con reflujo tambi\u00e9n puede favorecer la cicatrizaci\u00f3n de \u00falceras y reducir la progresi\u00f3n de la enfermedad venosa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antes del tratamiento, se realiza una ecograf\u00eda para localizar las venas y garantizar el plan de tratamiento m\u00e1s seguro y eficaz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ablaci\u00f3n por radiofrecuencia (ARF)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Utiliza calor aplicado mediante un peque\u00f1o cat\u00e9ter para sellar la vena afectada.
