Your blood vessels are a closed system. Imagine I fill a garden hose with water and cap it off at both ends, then kink the hose somewhere. Pressure will rise because it’s a closed system. It doesn’t matter if I kink it at one end or the other. Overall pressure will rise because I’ve removed some space somewhere.
