Venous thrombi are caused mainly by a combination of venous stasis and hypercoagulability—but to a lesser extent endothelial damage and activation. [7] The three factors of stasis, hypercoagulability, and alterations in the blood vessel wall represent Virchow's triad, and changes to the vessel wall are the least understood. [8]
Thrombolysis is the injection of an enzyme into the veins to dissolve blood clots, and while this treatment has been proven effective against the life-threatening emergency clots of stroke and heart attacks, randomized controlled trials [139] [140] [141] have not established a net benefit in those with acute proximal DVT.
Stroke is a serious condition of blood vessel disorder caused by the stop of blood supply to the brain. Brain cells with ceased oxygen supply from blood will die in millions per second. [ 14 ] Not only is it one of the major causes of death around the world, it is also the cause of permanent disability.
It most commonly affects leg veins, such as the femoral vein. Three factors are important in the formation of a blood clot within a deep vein—these are: the rate of blood flow, the thickness of the blood and; qualities of the vessel wall. Classical signs of DVT include swelling, pain and redness of the affected area. [3]

ATE can cause life-threatening conditions, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, acute kidney injury, limb ischemia, and mesenteric ischemia. ATE is usually caused by atherosclerosis , which leads to plaque rupture and thrombus formation, or by cardioembolism, which results from the embolization of a cardiac thrombus, such as in atrial ...
Get yourself to the ER, stat. Dr. Brotman O’Neill says untreated vascular disease can come with serious side effects such as heart attack, stroke, and limb ischemia (or severe blockage of the ...
