Yes, but it's often the underyling disease causing venous insufficiency that is the real trouble down the road. Venous insufficiency can be associated with increased pressures in the right side of the heart, a sign of right heart failure.

What chronic condition in which venous circulation is inadequate due to partial vein blockage or leakage of venous valves?
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
What is Left saphenofemoral incompetence?
Left saphenofemoral incompetence refers to the failure of the left saphenous vein and its connection to the femoral vein to adequately transport blood back to the heart, leading to venous insufficiency and potential complications such as varicose veins or venous ulcers. Treatment may involve interventions such as vein ablation or compression therapy to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms.

Phlebology - keep the blood flowing?
Phlebology is the medical discipline that consists of the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the veins. There are a number of different medical disorders that are treated by phlebologists. Chronic venous insufficiency is a medical disorder that is caused by veins not being able to pump enough oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Syptoms of the disorder, commonly known as spider veins, are veins becoming visible on the surface of the skin, local inflammation in the area around the affected vein, and thickening of the affected vein. Chronic venous insufficiency is most commonly found in the legs. If left untreated, the disorder can cause ulcers and hypoxia. There has also been some medical study of a possible connection between multiple sclerosis and chronic venous insufficiency. This disorder is usually treated in one of two ways. A balloon can be placed inside the vein to open it up and increase blood flow. The balloon is then taken out of the vein. The other way to treat Chronic venuous insufficiency is to place a stent in the affected vein. The stent is left in the vein, with the goal to keep the vein open permanently. A vein disorder that has received a great deal of attention recently is deep vein thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein. The disorder can be potentially life threatening if the clot passes through the circulatory system to the lungs and causes a pulmonary embolism. Deep vein thrombosis may occur in any deep vein, but most commonly occurs in the veins of the leg. The disorder may occur with no syptoms, but typically the affected extremity will become painful with the superficial veins becoming enlarged and engorged with blood. Deep vein thrombosis is caused by a variety of different risk factors. Those factors include obesity, surgery, immobilization, smoking, and age. These factors contribute to decreased blood flow rate, damage to the blood vessel walls, and increasing the blood’s propensity to clot. Remediation of deep vein thrombosis can be accomplished in a number of ways, but the prescription of anti-coagulants is the most common way to dissolve a blood clot caused by deep vein thrombosis.
