Hemostasis
normal vessels
maintain blood fluid, clot-free
vessel injury
induce rapid localized hemostatic plug
Thrombosis
inappropriate activation of normal
hemostatic processes
Vascular wall, platelets, coagulation cascade
Endothelium
Normal:
antithrombotic
1. Anticoagulant - heparin-like molecules
thrombomodulin
2. Antiplatelet – barrier between plt and ECM;
PGI2, NO, ADPase
3. Fibrinolytic – t-PA
Injured, activated:
prothrombotic
1. Procoagulant – tissue factor
2. Platelets - vWF
3. Antifibrinolytic - PAI

Thrombosis
intravital

clotting
Alteration of:
1. Vessel wall - endothelial injury - dominant
2. Blood flow- stasis, turbulence
3. Blood – hypercoagulability

Vessel wall – endothelial injury – dominant
exposure of subendothelial collagen
+ adherence of platelets
exposure of tissue factor, local depletion
of prostacyclin and plasminogen activator
Atherosclerosis – ulceration
Necrosis – myocardial infarction
Trauma
Inflammation – vasculitis
Hypertension, turbulent flow, bact. endotoxins
Homocystein, cholesterol, radiation, smoking
2. Alterations in normal blood flow
Normal = laminar
Turbulence – arteries, heart;
combined turb. + stasis (endot. injury + stasis)
Stasis – veins, heart
Ulcerated atherosclerotic plaques – endot. +turb.
Aneurysms – local stasis
Mitral valve stenosis – stasis – left atrial dilation
Hyperviscosity syndromes – polycythemia; sickle
cell anemia (occlusions
stasis; small vessels)
3. Hypercoagulability
Any alteration of coagulation pathway
predisposing to thrombosis
• Primary (genetic)
Mutations in factor V = Leiden mutation
2-15% of popul. APC resistance
antithrombin III, protein C, S deficiencies
fibrinolysis def., hyperhomocysteinemia
↑prothrombin levels - 1%, allelic variations
• Thrombo(embolism) – recurrent, young,
no or insignificant other causes
• Secondary (acquired) - high risk or low risk
3. Hypercoagulability
• Secondary (acquired)
• ↑ High risk of thrombosis -immobilization, myoc.
infarction, tissue damage (trauma, burns,
surgery), cancer, prosthetic cardiac valves, DIC,
heparin-induced thrombocytopenia,
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (with/out
autoimmune dis. - SLE)
• ↓Lower risk of thrombosis -atrial fibrillation,
cardiomyopathy, nephrotic syndrome,
hyperestrogenic states, oral contraceptives (3x),
pregnancy (8x), sickle cell anemia, smoking
Thrombotic diathesis - often complicated, multifactorial
Thrombi
- overview of morphology, localisation
relationship to the vessel wall, lumen
mural OR occlusive; line of attachment
localization
anywhere - heart (chambers, valves), arteries,
veins, capillaries
sizes, shapes, components (colours)
red, white, mixed (coral), hyaline
mechanism
arteries, heart: endothelial injury, turbulence
veins: stasis
Thrombi
Localization - detailed
Arterial – occlusive; mixed
coronary, cerebral, femoral
atherosclerosis, vasculitis, trauma
Venous – occlusive, long cast; red; 90% legs
autopsy dif. dg. postmortem clot
Heart – valves – vegetations
infective or sterile (rheum., NBTE, SLE)
Heart chambers, aneurysms of heart or aorta
Mural; infarction; embolisation: brain, kidney, spleen
Further fate of thrombi
1. Propagation
2. Dissolution - fibrinolysis
3. Organization and recanalization; fibrosis
4. Enz. digestion

Clinical significance of thrombosis
1. Vascular obstruction (mainly arteries)
2. Source of embolism (mainly veins)
Veins: mainly lower extremities
Spf.: trophic changes - cong., edem., pain; ulcers
Deep: 50% asympt.! thromboembolism!
Regardless specific clinical setting:
high age
immobilization
!high risk of venous thrombosis!
Embolism
a detached intravascular mass
- solid, liquid, gaseous
carried by the blood to a site distant from its origin
• Thrombus – 99%
• Fat
• Gas
• Fluid – amniotic;
• Atherosclerotic debris, tumor fragments, foreign bodies
VASCULAR BLOCK
(ISCHAEMIA
INFARCTION)
Pulmonary thromboembolism
SOURCE: DEEP LEG VEIN THROMBI
ABOVE THE KNEE
Clinical manifestation
1. Clin. silent (75%), organization, fibrous bridging
web
2. Acute cor pulmonale – sudden death (60% circ.)
3. Pulmonary hemorrhage/infarction
4. Pulmonary hypertension (multiple emb.)
Saddle embolus
Paradoxical embolism
Systemic thromboembolism
Emboli travelling in the syst. arterial circulation
• SOURCE: intracardiac mural thrombi (80%)
aort. aneurysms, atherosclerotic plaques,
valvular vegetations; paradoxical emboli
• RECIPIENTS: various
legs (75%), brain (10%), intestines, kidneys,
spleen, upper extr.
• CONSEQUENCES: collateral blood supply,
tissue vulnerability to ischaemia, size of the
occluded vessel
MAINLY INFARCTION
Fat embolism
• fractures of long bones, soft tissue trauma, burns
90% of people with severe skeletal injuries
only 10% symptomatic
• sudden onset: tachypnea, dyspnea, tachycardia,
neurol. symptoms, petechiae; (thrombo, ery ↓)
• mechanical and biochemical injury
• may be lethal
• HISTOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS
?
Air embolism
Gas bubbles
• Obstetric procedures
• Dural venous sinuses
• Neck, chest wall trauma
• Decompression sickness - nitrogen bubbles
focal ischemia:
muscles, joints – bends; brain, heart;
lungs - RDS (chokes)
treatment: compression chamber
• Chronic decompression sickness – caisson disease
persistence of gas emboli – multiple foci of ischemic
necrosis(heads of femur, tibia, humerus)
Amniotic fluid embolism
• Rare but ! High mortality
• Mechanism: amniotic fluid in maternal circulation
How: tear in the placental membranes, rupture of
uterine veins
• Mother: lungs: diffuse alveolar damage
capillaries: epithelial squamous cells from fetal skin,
lanugo hair, fat from vernix caseosa, mucin from fetal
respiratory tract and GIT
• Clinically: sudden; severe dyspnea, cyanosis,
hypotension, shock, seizures, coma; pulmonary edema,
DIC (thrombogenic substances from amniotic
fluid);death
SHOCK
Systemic hypoperfusion
caused by
reduction of cardiac output
effective circulating blood volume
hypotension, hypoperfusion, hypoxia
Cellular injury: first reversible
if persistence of shock - irreversible
SHOCK
1. Cardiogenic – pump failure (intrinsic myoc.
cause – IM, ventr. arrhytmias, extrinsic
compression – tamponade, outflow obstr.- emb.)
2. Hypovolemic - loss of blood or plasma
(hemorrhage, burns, trauma)
3. Septic – systemic microbial infection
(G- endotoxic, G+, fungal)
4. Neurogenic – spinal cord injury - VSD
5. Anaphylactic – gener. IgE-med. response, VSD,
↑vascular permeability – ↑vascular bed
capacitance
Pathogenesis of septic shock
Most G-, endotoxins – lipopolysaccharides
Mononuclear cell activation, cytokines (IL-1, TNF)
Isolate microbes, activate immune system,
eradicate microbes but also! further aggravation
cytokines and secondary mediators:
systemic VSD - hypotension,↓myoc. contractility,
↑endothel. injury, RDS, coagulation disorder – DIC
multiorgan system failure
Stages of shock
1. Nonprogressive – neurohumoral compensatory
mechanisms, vital organ perfusion
2. Progressive – tissue hypoperfusion, anaerobic
glycolysis, lactate acidosis, VSD, ↓cardiac
output, anoxic injury of endothelium, DIC risk;
vital organs begin to fail
3. Irreversible – lysosomal enzyme leakage
Morphology of shock
Hypoxic injury, multiple organ systems
Brain - ischemic encephalopathy
Heart - coagulation necrosis, hemorrhage
Kidneys - acute tubular necrosis
Lungs - shock lung (normally resistant to hypoxia)
Adrenals - cortical lipid depletion
GIT - hemorrhages and necroses
Liver - fatty change, central hemorrhagic necrosis
Disseminated intravascular
coagulation (DIC)
secondary complication
of some serious condition
consumption coagulopathy
thrombohemorrhagic diathesis
acute, subacute, chronic
Disseminated intravascular
coagulation (DIC)
activation of coagulation sequence
microthrombi
- consumption of platelets and clotting factors
secondary
activation of fibrinolysis
DIC
Thrombotic and hemorrhagic diathesis
Consequences
Microthrombi
infarctions
depletion of platelets and clotting factors
+ secondary activation of fibrinolysis
hemorrhages
Mechanisms of DIC trigger
1. Release of tissue factor
or thromboplastic substances
2. Widespread endothelial injury
DIC
1. obstetrics – 50%; abruptio placentae, retained
dead fetus, septic abortion, amniotic fluid
embolism, toxemia
2. neoplasms – 30%; adenocarcinomas, AML
3. infections – gram-negative sepsis
4. trauma, burns, extensive surgery
5. other – snakebite, heat stroke, giant
hemangioma, aortic aneurysm etc.
