Are diseased varicose veins an important path for return of impure blood to the heart?
No, these veins are not functioning as one way conduits and the blood is either stagnating or leaking back, preventing normal circulation in the leg. Treatment of the condition by removal or obliteration of these diseased veins will stop this reversal of circulation and improve the blood supply of the affected limb.
