👉 The carlo veins are a group of veins in the lower part of the foot, located between the calcaneus (heel bone) and the plantar fascia. They are named after the Italian anatomist Carlo Cesi who first described them in 1669. These veins drain blood from the sole and upper part of the foot and are part of the venous system that helps return blood to the heart. The carlo veins are often referred to as the "calcanhalve veins" due to their location on the side of the heel.
