Abstract

Virchow’s triad, the major risk factors that predispose to thrombosis, include vascular injury, stasis, and hypercoagulability. Arterial and venous thrombosis have different pathogenic mechanisms. For example, arterial thrombosis primarily involves vascular injury (atherosclerosis) and platelet deposition. Venous thrombosis primarily involves stasis of blood flow and hypercoagulability, which is defined as altered blood composition associated with a thrombotic tendency. Fibrin deposition is the normal consequence of venous thrombosis.
