Chronic venous congestion (CVC) is characterized by the long-standing accumulation of deoxygenated blood due to venous obstruction, leading to tissue damage. Hyperemia is an active process with increased arterial blood flow, resulting in reddened and warm tissues, while congestion is a passive process with stagnation of blood, leading to a blue and cold appearance. CVC affects various organs, including the lungs, liver, and spleen, causing specific pathological changes such as edema, hemorrhage, and fibrotic alterations.
