Known since a long time but relatively neglected, the venous vasa vasorum form a tiny network to irrigate and drainer the wall. Actually it is re-realized that, just like any tissues, the vein is a living tissue and the vasa vasorum play a key role in the maintenance of its homeostasis. Under the effects of intraluminal pressure, the Young's modulus (E) of the vein following an empirical relationship (Log E)2= - ('alpha' Log(p) + 'beta'), can vary in a very large range (a factor of 100) en even in physiological conditions. In this work, we simulated the deformation of venous vasa vasorum by finite element method. Thus it can be suggested that, at first, a permanent venous hypertension provoquer a local modification of the wallís mechanical properties (decrease of E) to favoriser a large deformation which will lead to a decrease of the irrigation, and secondly, with the decreased irrigation, the wall will loose its elasticity, become rigidified and keep its large deformation. A vicious cycle could be thus created.
