Varices that arise from deep-venous valvular insufficiency and incompetent perforators are referred to as:

The varices that arise from deep-venous valvular insufficiency and incompetent perforators are classified as secondary varices. This classification is essential because it highlights the underlying causes of the varices, linking them to pre-existing venous issues rather than being isolated pathologies.

Secondary varices develop as a consequence of an existing condition, often due to deep vein thrombosis or chronic venous insufficiency, where the normal flow of blood is disrupted. In contrast, primary varices typically occur without such underlying conditions and are a result of intrinsic changes in the venous walls or valves.

The concept of secondary varices is important in clinical practice as it identifies a specific management approach that may require addressing the underlying venous insufficiency to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications. Understanding this distinction helps in the diagnosis and treatment planning for patients experiencing venous disorders.
