What is venous insufficiency? Venous insufficiency is a chronic condition in which blood does not flow normally up through the veins in the legs toward the heart. In normal veins a series of specialized, one-way valves work together, opening to allow blood to flow upward, then closing to keep the blood from flowing back toward the feet.enous insufficiency means that some of your veins aren't working properly. This condition often develops after veins are damaged by an injury, surgery, or blood clot. Veins drain blood and fluid back to the heart, so people with venous insufficiency usually have symptoms caused by the buildup of fluid.

- Arterial insufficiency occurs when your arteries become narrowed or blocked by an underlying disease or condition. Narrowing of an artery is also called stenosis. This decreases blood flow and oxygen delivery to the cells, tissues and organs being supplied by your arteries.Without adequate blood flow and oxygen, cells and tissues may not function properly and may even begin to die. The most common cause of arterial insufficiency is atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.rterial insufficiency can also be caused by emboli. Emboli are blood clots that travel through the blood until they become lodged in an artery and block blood flow. This can also cause a life-threatening condition, such as a pulmonary embolism. Arterial insufficiency can affect many areas of your body.
