Superficial thrombophlebitis is due to inflammation and/or thrombosis, and,less commonly, infection of the vein. It is generally a benign, self-limiting disorder; however, it can be complicated by deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and even pulmonary embolism (PE) [ 4 ] Migratory superficial thrombophlebitis is known as Trousseau's syndrome , which can ...
It most commonly occurs in superficial veins. Phlebitis often occurs in conjunction with thrombosis and is then called thrombophlebitis or superficial thrombophlebitis. Unlike deep vein thrombosis, the probability that superficial thrombophlebitis will cause a clot to break up and be transported in pieces to the lung is very low. [1]
Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) is a blood clot formed in a superficial vein, a vein near the surface of the body. Usually there is thrombophlebitis , which is an inflammatory reaction around a thrombosed vein, presenting as a painful induration (thickening of the skin) with redness .
Thrombophlebitis causes include disorders related to increased tendency for blood clotting and reduced speed of blood in the veins such as prolonged immobility; prolonged traveling (sitting) may promote a blood clot leading to thrombophlebitis but this occurs relatively less.
Thrombophlebitis is phlebitis (vein inflammation) related to a thrombus (blood clot). These conditions are usually of the superficial veins and are generally mild and uncomplicated as opposed to deep vein thromboses, which can be life-threatening. [1] [better source needed]

For example, the superficial venous system (SVS) can be very well examined using a high-frequency probe of 12 MHz. For patients who have thick adipose tissue , a probe of 7.5 MHz will be required. Deep veins require probes of around 6 MHz, while the abdominal vessels are better studied with probes of between 4 and 6 MHz. [ 9 ]
