Veins Stellate

“Stellate veins” (lat. venae stellates) are one of the types of venous capillaries that are found in various tissues of the human body. Stellate veins are located in muscle fibers and connect them to the heart. They have a unique anatomical structure that ensures effective circulation of blood and nutrients between tissues and internal organs. However, there are various disorders and diseases that can affect the condition of the stellate veins and worsen a person's overall health.

The characteristic feature of stellate veins is their curved shape, reminiscent of a star or Toyota star. Such veins consist of three main elements: a central trunk, from which two smaller branches diverge on either side of the trunk. The central trunk provides blood flow to the tissues, and the branching branches act as outflows. Thus, due to their unique shape, stellate-type veins cope well with the tasks of uniform blood circulation in the tissues.

Normally, stellate veins should not cause any pain. They are elastic, mobile and do not create discomfort when moving muscles. The condition of these vessels can only be assessed by angioplasty
