    The treatments to prevent the formation of blood clots is balanced against the risk of bleeding. [5] One of the goals of blood clot prevention is to limit venous stasis as this is a significant risk factor for forming blood clots in the deep veins of the legs. [6] Venous stasis can occur during the long periods of not moving.

    The most common cause of chronic venous insufficiency is reflux of the venous valves of superficial veins. [2] This may in turn be caused by several conditions: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), that is, blood clots in the deep veins. Chronic venous insufficiency caused by DVT may be described as postthrombotic syndrome. DVT triggers an inflammatory ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemostasis

    Hemostasis occurs when blood is present outside of the body or blood vessels. It is the innate response for the body to stop bleeding and loss of blood. During hemostasis three steps occur in a rapid sequence. Vascular spasm is the first response as the blood vessels constrict to allow less blood to be lost.

  7. Venous stasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_stasis

    Weakened Venous valves: these are crucial towards ensuring upward flow to the heart from the lower extremities. If weakened, they may fail to close properly which leads to backwards blood flow/blood pooling. This can lead to slower blood flow in the veins. [8] Ultrasonography-Doppler ultrasound

  8. Vascular disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_disease

    In treating renal artery disease, a 2014 study indicates that balloon angioplasty can improve diastolic blood pressure and potentially reduce antihypertensive drug requirements. [30] In the case of peripheral artery disease, treatment to prevent complications is important; without treatment, sores or gangrene (tissue death) may occur. [citation ...

  9. Venous thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_thrombosis

    Venous thrombosis is the blockage of a vein caused by a thrombus (blood clot). A common form of venous thrombosis is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), when a blood clot forms in the deep veins. If a thrombus breaks off ( embolizes ) and flows to the lungs to lodge there, it becomes a pulmonary embolism (PE), a blood clot in the lungs.
