Venous thrombosis
M.A.Kubtan
38
Venous thrombus
 Is the formation of a semi-solid coagulum within flowing
blood in the venous system .
 Venous thrombosis of the deep veins of the legs is
complicated by the immediate risk of pulmonary embolus
and sudden death.
 Subsequently , patients are at risk of developing a post
thrombotic limb and venous ulceration .
M.A.Kubtan
39
Aetiology
Virchow triad
 Changes in the vessel wall ( endothelial damage ) .
 Stasis, which diminished blood flow through the veins
.
 Coagulability of blood ( thrombophilia ) .
M.A.Kubtan
40
Risk factors for venous thromboembolisim
Patients factors :
 Age .
 Obesity .
 Varicose veins .
 Immobility .
 Pregnancy .
 Puerperium .
 High-dose oestrogen therapy .
 Previous deep vein thrombosis .
 Pulmonary embolism .
 Thrombophilia .
M.A.Kubtan

Disease or surgical procedure :
 Trauma or surgery of pelvis, hip and lower limb .
 Malignancy , pelvic and abdominal metastasis
 Heart failure .
 Recent myocardial infarction .
 Paralysis of lower limb(s).
 Infection .

Other risk factors
 Inflammatory bowel disease .
 Nephrotic syndrome.
 Polycythemia .
 Paroxismal nocturnal haemoglobinuria antibody or Lupus
 Anticoagulant .
 Behcet,s disease .
 Homocystinaemia.
M.A.Kubtan
43
Clinical Pathology
A thrombus often develops in the
soleal veins of the calf .
A. Initially as a primary platelet
thrombus ( aggregate ).
B.
Coralline thrombus .
C. Occluding thrombus .
D. Consecutive clot to the next
venous tributary.
M.A.Kubtan
44
Methode of propagation in phlebothrombosis
a) With thrombus
formation at each
entering tributary.
b) Clotting mass in an
extensive length of vein
propagated clot .

detached , passes through the large veins of the limb and
vena cava .
Through the right heart ( heart occlusion ) .
Lodges in the pulmonary arteries .
Massive pulmonary embolus (total occlusion of
pulmonary trunk) .
Partial pulmonary embolus affecting Rt or Lt pulmonary
arteries .
Recurrent micro emboli .
Pyramidal shape infarcts .
M.A.Kubtan
47
Clinical Symptoms of DVT
The most common presentation of DVT is :
 No symptoms .
 Pain in the calf muscles .
 Swelling in the calf muscles .
 May present with sudden symptoms of pulmonary
embolism (pleuritic chest pain , haemoptysis ,
shortness of breath ) .
 Bilateral DVT are relatively common occurring in 30%
M.A.Kubtan
48
Clinical signs of Iliac femoral vein
thrombosis
 Swelling involving the whole length of lower limb .
 Phlegmasia alba dolens .
 Phlegmasia cerulia dolens .
 Venous gangrene .
M.A.Kubtan
49
Phlegmasia alba dolens PAD
 When the thrombosis involves only major deep
venous channels of the extremity sparing collateral
veins .
 The venous drainage is decreased but still present .
 These phases are reversible if proper measures are
taken.
M.A.Kubtan
50
Phlegmasia cerulia dolens PCD
 The thrombosis extends to collateral veins, resulting in
venous congestions with massive fluid sequestration
and more significant edema .
 Without established gangrene .
 These phases are reversible if proper measures are
taken.
M.A.Kubtan
51
Physical signs of DVT





May be absent or ephermeral .
Mild pitting oedema of the ankle .
Dilated surface veins .
Stiff calf and tenderness over the course of deep veins .
Homans sign ( resistance of calf muscles to forcible
dorsiflexion ) might be misleading .
 Low grade pyrexia may be present , especially in a patient
who is having repeated pulmonary emboli.
 Patient may develop signs of cyanosis and dyspnoea ,
raised neck veins , split second heart sound , pleural rub in
PE .

The gangrene is symmetrical involving all the toes .
There is no clear – cut edge and there is marked oedema of the foot .

Investigation
Early Diagnosis of DVT
 D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product (FDP ) .
 D-dimer is a small protein fragment present in the
blood after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis.
 D-dimer measurment if withen normal range it rules
out the diagnosis of DVT or Pulmonary embolus and
there is no indication for further investigation .
 If raised , a duplex ultrasound examination of the DVT .
 Ascending venography ( now rarely required ) .

Diagnosis of pulmonary embolus

The differential diagnosis of DVT
 Ruptured Baker,s cyst .
 Calf muscle haematoma .
 Ruptured plantaris muscle .
 Thrombosed popliteal aneurysm .
 Arterial ischaemia .
M.A.Kubtan
64
Classification of risky patients
 Low risk : young , minor illnesses , who are to undergo
30 min or less surgery .
 Moderate risk : over the age of 40 ,or those with
debilitating illness who are to undergo major surgery .
 High risk : those who are over the age of 40 , who have
serious accompanying medical condition ( stroke , MI
, past history of DVT , known malignant disease ) .
M.A.Kubtan
65
Prevention and prophylaxis
 Mechanical approach .
 Pharmacological approach .

risk of thrombosis .
They carry an increased risk of bleeding .
Most patients at risk should start on low molecular weight
Heparin given subcutaneously .
The amount of given heparin based on the patients body
weight .
This treatment does not require PTT monitoring ,and has
reduced risk of developing thrombocytopenia.
It can be given once daily and has lower risk of bleeding .

and PTT monitoring .
Subcutaneous low molecular heparin without PTT monitoring .
Rapid oral anticoagulation with warfarin .
Warfarin given loading dose for 3 days after measuring
prothrombin time .
Complete bed rest followed by ambulation .
M.A.Kubtan
71
Thrombolysis of DVT
 By using streptokinase or uorokinase .
 Should be considered in patients with an iliac vein
thrombosis if they are seen in the early stages .
 When the limb is extremely swollen .
M.A.Kubtan

If it,s been performed it should be accopmpanid by
arterio-venous fistula at the PT level .

Treatment of pulmonary embolus
 Multiple and recurrent micro emboli's can be treated
by anticoagulation and observation .
 Those with sever onset who develop sever heart strain
and shortness of breath indicates the need for
fibrinolytic treatment .
 Surgical pulmonary embolectomy may not save the
patient from his or her fate .
M.A.Kubtan
75
Superfacial thrombophlebitis
 Implies a major inflammatory component .
 Common causes include external trauma especially to
VVs .
 Venopuncture and infusion of hyperosmolor solution
and drugs .
 Thrombo angitisobliterance ( Buerger disease)

ulcers .
Arterial iscaemic ulcers.
Rheumatoid ulcers .
Traumatic ulcers .
Neuropathic ulcers ( Squamous cell carcinoma and
Basal cell carcinoma ) .
M.A.Kubtan
78
Aetiology of ulceration
Ambulatory venous hypertension regarded as the cause
of ulceration.
 The venous hypertension may be the result of
primary valve incompetence .
 Incompetence of the perforating veins .
 Obstruction of deep veins.
M.A.Kubtan
79
Clinical features
 A venous ulcer has gently sloping edge and the base
contains granulation tissue .
 Any elevation of the ulcer edge should indicate the
need for biopsy .
 Venous ulcer of the leg usually develop in the skin of
the gaiter region , which is rich in perforators .
M.A.Kubtan

 The majority ob venous ulcers develop on the medial

side of the calf .
Ulcers associated with lesser saphenous
incompetence often develop on the lateral side of the
leg .
Ulcer can develop on any part of the calf skin in
patients with post DVT syndrome .
Venous ulcer rarely develop on the foot or into the
upper calf.
Almost all venous ulcers have surounding
lipodermatosclerosis .
