VENOUS THROMBOSIS Adnan gurchani
Slide 2-

DEFINITION : Venous thrombosis is a condition in which a blood clot (thrombus) forms in a vein, obstructing the normal flow of blood back to the heart. It most commonly occurs in the deep veins of the legs or pelvis, known as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). If the clot breaks off and travels to the lungs, it can cause a Pulmonary Embolism (PE), which is a medical emergency.
Slide 3-

ETIOLOGY : Venous thrombosis is primarily caused by Virchow’s triad, which includes: Venous stasis Endothelial injury Hypercoagulability
Slide 4-

Venous Stasis: Venous stasis – slow or reduced blood flow in legs Bed rest Prolonged immobility (e.g., long flights) Heart failure
Slide 5-

Endothelial injury: Endothelial injury – damage to the inner lining of the vein Surgery or trauma Inflammation Central venous catheters

Hypercoagulability – increased tendency to form clots Inherited disorders (e.g., Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin gene mutation) Pregnancy Oral contraceptives or hormone therapy Cancer Obesity Smoking Hypercoagulability:

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY : Initiation: A trigger (e.g., trauma or stagnation of blood) activates the coagulation cascade. Clot formation: Platelets adhere to the injured endothelium and fibrin forms a clot. Venous obstruction: The thrombus blocks venous return, increasing venous pressure. Inflammatory response: Causes pain, swelling, and redness. Possible embolization: If the clot dislodges, it can travel to the lungs (PE).

CLINICAL FEATURES : Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Swelling (usually one leg) Pain or tenderness Redness or discoloration Warmth of the affected area Dilated superficial veins

Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Sudden shortness of breath Chest pain (especially on breathing) Rapid heart rate Cough (possibly with blood) Dizziness or fainting
Slide 13-

DIAGNOSIS : History and physical examination D-dimer test – elevated in most cases of clot Compression ultrasound – first-line imaging for DVT CT pulmonary angiography – gold standard for diagnosing PE Venography or MRI – if ultrasound is inconclusive
Slide 14-

TREATMENT : 1. Anticoagulation (Mainstay) Heparin (unfractionated or low molecular weight) Warfarin (INR monitoring required) Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs): rivaroxaban, apixaban 2. Thrombolytic Therapy Used in massive DVT or PE (e.g., alteplase)
Slide 15-

3. Mechanical Interventions Thrombectomy Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter (when anticoagulation is contraindicated) 4. Supportive Measures Compression stockings Leg elevation Analgesics
Slide 16-

COMPLICATIONS : Pulmonary embolism – potentially fatal Post-thrombotic syndrome – chronic swelling, pain, ulcers Recurrent thrombosis Chronic venous insufficiency
Slide 17-

PREVENTION : For High-Risk Patients : Early mobilization after surgery or hospitalization Prophylactic anticoagulants (e.g., enoxaparin) Use of compression devices (e.g., TED stockings) Avoid prolonged immobility Adequate hydration Prognosis : Good with early diagnosis and treatment Risk of recurrence if underlying cause remains PE may be fatal if untreated
