The pathogenesis of the development of varicose veins remains obscure, and there have been many theories suggesting the primary cause. Recognized predisposing factors include age, sex, race, weight, height, pregnancy, diet, erect stance, clothes, alcohol, heredity, bowel habit and occupation. However the primary causative factors have centred around vein wall weaknesses, valvular deficiencies, and haemodynamic effects. This review looks at the evidence for and against arteriovenous anastomoses being the initiating factor in the development of varicose veins.

Bos taurus cattle with high resistance to the tick Boophilus micro plus, whether free-grazing or in covered pens, had significantly more arteriovenous anastomoses (A VA) in their skin than did animals of low resistance. These differences in number of A VA associated with resistance level were most marked above the level of the sebaceous gland in the neck region, an area favoured for tick feeding. In this skin layer, the number of AVA in low-resistance animals (4�0�0�4 per 2�1 mm) was significantly lower than in animals of high resistance (12�3 � 2�2 per 2�1 mm) while the mean value for the naive animals (8�2 � 1 �9 per 2�1 mm) was intermediate. No differences in morphology of AVA were detectable between the three groups using light microscopy.
