In 95% cases, varicose veins mainly affect saphenous veins, that is to say, the superficial veins which go back down the leg veins and their tributaries. These varices are the result of a set of risk factors (heredity, overweight, pregnancy, etc).

In a minority of people, varicose veins are caused by inflammation of deep veins (deep phlebitis) which eventually reach the network of superficial veins.
