However, a few contradictory results have been published with this assumption in several studies. Objective: This paper evaluates the effects of compression stockings on the tissues of the legs.  Material and Methods: To do this, we simulate the part of the leg utilizing an MRI photo and Mimic material software and then analysis it based on finite element approach in ANSYS software. Results: The obtained results show that the contribution of MCS compression stockings to deep-vein diameter variations is negligible, so that these effects were 3% and 9% for in standing position and sitting state, respectively. Also, the results illustrate that the greatest effects of the transverse diameter variation of the vessel occurred with the activation of the muscle tissue. Conclusions: Therefore, the use of compression socks can exert pressure on the leg tissues and can reduce the diameter of the vessel and help to prevent vein thrombosis.
