venous stasis vs venostasis.
Subject: venous stasis vs venostasis.

Both are correct. "o" is the combining form and thus acceptable as venostasis. Some dictators will use the combined form and some will use two separate words, I go with what the dictator says.

Ven = venous
stasis = cessation/impairment of flow thus ven "o" statis.
