Thrombosis(fromAncient Greekθρόμβωσιςthrómbōsis"clotting" ) is the formation of ablood clotinside ablood vessel,obstructing the flow of blood through thecirculatory system.When a blood vessel (aveinor anartery) is injured, the body usesplatelets(thrombocytes) andfibrinto form ablood clotto prevent blood loss. Even when a blood vessel is not injured, blood clots may form in the body under certain conditions. A clot, or a piece of the clot, that breaks free and begins to travel around the body is known as anembolus.[1][2]

Thrombosis may occur in veins (venous thrombosis) or in arteries (arterial thrombosis). Venous thrombosis (sometimes called DVT,deep vein thrombosis) leads to a blood clot in the affected part of the body, while arterial thrombosis (and, rarely, severe venous thrombosis) affects the blood supply and leads to damage of the tissue supplied by that artery (ischemiaandnecrosis). A piece of either an arterial or a venous thrombus can break off as an embolus, which could then travel through the circulation and lodge somewhere else as anembolism.This type of embolism is known as athromboembolism.Complications can arise when a venous thromboembolism (commonly called a VTE) lodges in the lung as apulmonary embolism.An arterial embolus may travel further down the affected blood vessel, where it can lodge as an embolism.[citation needed]

Signs and symptoms

[edit]

Thrombosis is generally defined by the type of blood vessel affected (arterial or venous thrombosis) and the precise location of the blood vessel or the organ supplied by it.[citation needed]

Venous thrombosis

[edit]

Deep vein thrombosis

[edit]

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot within adeep vein.It most commonly affects leg veins, such as thefemoral 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 includeswelling,pain and redness of the affected area.[citation needed]

Paget-Schroetter disease

[edit]

Paget-Schroetter disease or upper extremity DVT (UEDVT) is the obstruction of anarmvein (such as theaxillary veinorsubclavian vein) by a thrombus. The condition usually comes to light after vigorous exercise and usually presents in younger, otherwise healthy people. Men are affected more than women.[3]

Budd-Chiari syndrome

[edit]

Budd-Chiari syndrome is the blockage of ahepatic veinor of the hepatic part of theinferior vena cava.This form of thrombosis presents withabdominal pain,ascitesandenlarged liver.Treatment varies between therapy and surgical intervention by the use ofshunts.[4]

Portal vein thrombosis

[edit]

Portal vein thrombosis affects thehepatic portal vein,which can lead to portalhypertensionand reduction of the blood supply to the liver.[5]It usually happens in the setting of another disease such aspancreatitis,cirrhosis,diverticulitisorcholangiocarcinoma.[6]

Renal vein thrombosis

[edit]

Renal vein thrombosis is the obstruction of therenal veinby a thrombus. This tends to lead to reduced drainage from the kidney.[7]

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis

[edit]

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare form ofstrokewhich results from the blockage of thedural venous sinusesby a thrombus. Symptoms may include headache, abnormal vision, any of the symptoms of stroke such as weakness of the face and limbs on one side of the body andseizures.The diagnosis is usually made with aCTorMRI scan.The majority of persons affected make a full recovery. Themortality rateis 4.3%.[8]

Jugular vein thrombosis

[edit]

Jugular vein thrombosis is a condition that may occur due to infection, intravenous drug use or malignancy. Jugular vein thrombosis can have a varying list of complications, including:systemic sepsis,pulmonary embolism,andpapilledema.Though characterized by a sharp pain at the site of the vein, it can prove difficult to diagnose, because it can occur at random.[9]

Cavernous sinus thrombosis

[edit]

Cavernous sinus thrombosisis a specialised form of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, where there is thrombosis of thecavernous sinusof the basal skull dura, due to the retrograde spread of infection and endothelial damage from thedanger triangleof the face. The facial veins in this area anastomose with thesuperiorandinferiorophthalmic veins of the orbit, which drain directly posteriorly into the cavernous sinus through thesuperior orbital fissure.StaphyloccoalorStreptococcalinfections of the face, for example nasal or upper lip pustules may thus spread directly into the cavernous sinus, causing stroke-like symptoms ofdouble vision,squint,as well as spread of infection to causemeningitis.[10]

Arterial thrombosis

[edit]

Arterial thrombosis is the formation of a thrombus within anartery.In most cases, arterial thrombosis follows rupture ofatheroma(a fat-rich deposit in the blood vessel wall), and is therefore referred to asatherothrombosis.Arterial embolismoccurs when clots then migrate downstream and can affect any organ.[11]Alternatively, arterial occlusion occurs as a consequence of embolism of blood clots originating from the heart ( "cardiogenic" emboli). The most common cause isatrial fibrillation,which causes a blood stasis within the atria with easy thrombus formation, but blood clots can develop inside the heart for other reasons too as infective endocarditis.[citation needed]

Stroke

[edit]
Acute thrombus in the right MCA M1 branch

A stroke is the rapid decline of brain function due to a disturbance in the supply of blood to the brain.[12]This can be due toischemia,thrombus,embolus(a lodged particle) orhemorrhage(a bleed).[12]In thrombotic stroke, a thrombus (blood clot) usually forms aroundatheroscleroticplaques. Since blockage of the artery is gradual, the onset of symptomatic thrombotic strokes is slower. Thrombotic stroke can be divided into two categories — large vessel disease or small vessel disease. The former affects vessels such as theinternal carotids,vertebraland thecircle of Willis.The latter can affect smaller vessels, such as the branches of the circle of Willis.[citation needed]

Myocardial infarction

[edit]

Myocardial infarction (MI), or heart attack, is caused by ischemia (restriction in the blood supply), which is often due to the obstruction of acoronary arteryby a thrombus. This restriction gives an insufficient supply of oxygen to the heart muscle which then results in tissue death (infarction). A lesion is then formed which is theinfarct.MI can quickly become fatal if emergency medical treatment is not received promptly. If diagnosed within 12 hours of the initial episode (attack) thenthrombolytic therapyis initiated.[citation needed]

Limb ischemia

[edit]

An arterial thrombus or embolus can also form in the limbs, which can lead toacute limb ischemia.[13]

Other sites

[edit]

Hepatic artery thrombosisusually occurs as a devastating complication afterliver transplantation.[14]

Causes

[edit]

Thrombosis prevention is initiated with assessing the risk for its development.Some people have a higher riskof developing thrombosis and its possible development intothromboembolism.[15]Some of these risk factors are related toinflammation."Virchow's triad"has been suggested to describe the three factors necessary for the formation of thrombosis:hemodynamic changes(blood stasis or turbulence), vessel wall {endothelial) injury/dysfunction, and altered blood coagulation (hypercoagulability).[16][17]Some risk factors predispose for venous thrombosis while others increase the risk of arterial thrombosis.[citation needed]Newborn babies in the neonatal period are also at risk of a thromboembolism.[18]

Mechanism

[edit]

Pathogenesis

[edit]

The main causes of thrombosis are given inVirchow's triadwhich liststhrombophilia,endothelial cellinjury, and disturbedblood flow.Generally speaking the risk for thrombosis increases over the life course of individuals, depending on life style factors like smoking, diet, and physical activity, the presence of other diseases like cancer or autoimmune disease, while also platelet properties change in aging individuals which is an important consideration as well.[30]

Hypercoagulability

[edit]

Hypercoagulability orthrombophilia,is caused by, for example,genetic deficienciesorautoimmune disorders.Recent studies indicate that white blood cells play a pivotal role in deep vein thrombosis, mediating numerous pro-thrombotic actions.[31]

Endothelial cell injury

[edit]

Any inflammatory process, such as trauma, surgery or infection, can cause damage to theendothelial liningof the vessel's wall. The main mechanism is exposure oftissue factorto the blood coagulation system.[32]Inflammatory and other stimuli (such ashypercholesterolemia) can lead to changes ingene expressionin endothelium producing to a pro-thrombotic state.[33]When this occurs, endothelial cellsdownregulatesubstances such asthrombomodulin,which is a key modulator of thrombin activity.[34]The result is a sustained activation of thrombin and reduced production ofprotein Cand tissue factor inhibitor, which furthers the pro-thrombotic state.[33]

Endothelial injury is almost invariably involved in the formation of thrombi in arteries, as high rates of blood flow normally hinder clot formation. In addition, arterial and cardiac clots are normally rich in platelets–which are required for clot formation in areas under high stress due to blood flow.[33]

Disturbed blood flow

[edit]
Cancer-associated thrombosis can result from: (1) stasis, i.e., direct pressure on blood vessels by the tumor mass, poor performance status, and bed rest following surgical procedures; (2) iatrogenic, due to treatment with antineoplastic medications; and (3) secretion of heparanase from malignant tumors that results in degradation of endogenous heparin. Source: Potential Mechanisms of Cancer-Related Hypercoagulability. Nasser NJ, Fox J, Agbarya A. Cancers (Basel). 2020 Feb 29;12(3):566.https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers12030566[35]

Causes of disturbed blood flow include stagnation of blood flow past the point of injury, orvenous stasiswhich may occur in heart failure,[32]or after long periods of sedentary behaviour, such as sitting on a long airplane flight. Also,atrial fibrillation,causes stagnant blood in the left atrium (LA), orleft atrial appendage(LAA), and can lead to athromboembolism.[32]Cancersormalignanciessuch asleukemiamay cause increased risk of thrombosis by possible activation of the coagulation system by cancer cells or secretion of procoagulant substances (paraneoplastic syndrome), by external compression on a blood vessel when a solid tumor is present, or (more rarely) extension into the vasculature (for example, renal cell cancers extending into the renal veins).[32]Also, treatments for cancer (radiation, chemotherapy) often cause additional hypercoagulability.[32]There are scores that correlate different aspects of patient data (comorbidities, vital signs, and others) to risk of thrombosis, such as the POMPE-C, which stratifies risk of mortality due to pulmonary embolism in patients with cancer, who typically have higher rates of thrombosis.[36]Also, there are several predictive scores for thromboembolic events, such as Padua,[37]Khorana,[38][39]andThroLy score.[40]

Pathophysiology

[edit]

Natural history

[edit]

Fibrinolysisis the physiological breakdown of blood clots by enzymes such asplasmin.

Organisation: following the thrombotic event, residual vascular thrombus will be re-organised histologically with several possible outcomes. For an occlusive thrombus (defined as thrombosis within a small vessel that leads to complete occlusion),wound healingwill reorganise the occlusive thrombus into collagenousscartissue, where the scar tissue will either permanently obstruct the vessel, or contract down withmyofibroblasticactivity to unblock thelumen.For a mural thrombus (defined as a thrombus in a large vessel that restricts the blood flow but does not occlude completely), histological reorganisation of the thrombus does not occur via the classicwound healingmechanism. Instead, theplatelet-derived growth factordegranulated by the clottedplateletswill attract a layer ofsmooth musclecells to cover the clot, and this layer of mural smooth muscle will be vascularised by the blood inside the vessel lumen rather than by thevasa vasorum.[citation needed]

Ischemia/infarction: if an arterial thrombus cannot be lysed by the body and it does not embolise, and if the thrombus is large enough to impair or occlude blood flow in the involved artery, then localischemiaorinfarctionwill result. Avenous thrombusmay or may not be ischemic, since veins distribute deoxygenated blood that is less vital for cellular metabolism. Nevertheless, non-ischemic venous thrombosis may still be problematic, due to the swelling caused by blockage to venous drainage. Indeep vein thrombosisthis manifests as pain, redness, and swelling; inretinal vein occlusionthis may result inmacular oedemaandvisual acuityimpairment, which if severe enough can lead to blindness.

Embolization

[edit]

A thrombus may become detached and enter circulation as anembolus,finally lodging in and completely obstructing a blood vessel, which unless treated very quickly will lead to tissue necrosis (aninfarction) in the area past the occlusion. Venous thrombosis can lead to pulmonary embolism when the migrated embolus becomes lodged in the lung. In people with a "shunt" (a connection between the pulmonary and systemic circulation), either in the heart or in the lung, a venous clot can also end up in the arteries and cause arterial embolism.[citation needed]

Arterial embolism can lead to obstruction of blood flow through the blood vessel that is obstructed by it, and a lack of oxygen and nutrients (ischemia) of the downstream tissue. The tissue can become irreversibly damaged, a process known asnecrosis.This can affect any organ; for instance, arterial embolism of the brain is one of the causes of stroke.[citation needed]

Prevention

[edit]

The use ofheparinfollowing surgery is common if there are no issues with bleeding. Generally, a risk-benefit analysis is required, as all anticoagulants lead to an increased risk of bleeding.[41]In people admitted to hospital, thrombosis is a major cause for complications and occasionally death. In the UK, for instance, the ParliamentaryHealth Select Committeeheard in 2005 that the annual rate of death due to thrombosis was 25,000, with at least 50% of these being hospital-acquired.[42]Hencethromboprophylaxis(prevention of thrombosis) is increasingly emphasized. In patients admitted for surgery, gradedcompression stockingsare widely used, and in severe illness, prolonged immobility and in allorthopedic surgery,professional guidelinesrecommendlow molecular weight heparin(LMWH) administration, mechanical calf compression or (if all else is contraindicated and the patient has recently developed deep vein thrombosis) the insertion of avena cava filter.[43][44]In patients with medical rather than surgical illness, LMWH too is known to prevent thrombosis,[44][45]and in the United Kingdom theChief Medical Officerhas issued guidance to the effect that preventative measures should be used in medical patients, in anticipation of formal guidelines.[42]

Treatment

[edit]

The treatment for thrombosis depends on whether it is in a vein or an artery, the impact on the person, and the risk of complications from treatment.[citation needed]

Anticoagulation

[edit]

Warfarinandvitamin K antagonistsareanticoagulantsthat can be taken orally to reduce thromboembolic occurrence. Where a more effective response is required, heparin can be given (by injection) concomitantly. As a side effect of any anticoagulant, the risk of bleeding is increased, so theinternational normalized ratioof blood is monitored. Self-monitoring and self-management are safe options for competent patients, though their practice varies. In Germany, about 20% of patients were self-managed while only 1% of U.S. patients did home self-testing (according to one 2012 study).[46]Other medications such asdirect thrombin inhibitorsanddirect Xa inhibitorsare increasingly being used instead of warfarin.[citation needed]

Thrombolysis

[edit]

Thrombolysisis the pharmacological destruction of blood clots by administeringthrombolytic drugsincludingrecombinant tissue plasminogen activator,which enhances the normal destruction of blood clots by the body's enzymes. This carries an increased risk of bleeding so is generally only used for specific situations (such as severe stroke or a massive pulmonary embolism).[47]

Surgery

[edit]

Arterial thrombosis may require surgery if it causesacute limb ischemia.[citation needed]

Endovascular treatment

[edit]

Mechanical clot retrieval and catheter-guided thrombolysis are used in certain situations.[48]

Antiplatelet agents

[edit]

Arterial thrombosis is platelet-rich, and inhibition of platelet aggregation withantiplatelet drugssuch asaspirinmay reduce the risk of recurrence or progression.[49]

Targeting ischemia/reperfusion injury

[edit]

With reperfusion comes ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury (IRI), which paradoxically causes cell death in reperfused tissue[50]and contributes significantly to post-reperfusion mortality and morbidity.[51][52]For example, in a feline model of intestinal ischemia, four hours of ischemia resulted in less injury than three hours of ischemia followed by one hour of reperfusion.[50]In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), IRI contributes up to 50% of final infarct size despite timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention. This is a key reason for the continued high mortality and morbidity in these conditions, despite endovascular reperfusion treatments and continuous efforts to improve timeliness and access to these treatments. Hence, protective therapies are required to attenuate IRI alongside reperfusion in acute ischemic conditions to improve clinical outcomes.[53]Therapeutic strategies that have potential to improve clinical outcomes in reperfused STEMI patients includeremote ischemic conditioning(RIC), exenatide, and metoprolol. These have emerged amongst a multitude of cardioprotective interventions investigated with largely neutral clinical data.[54]Of these, RIC has the most robust clinical evidence, especially in the context of STEMI, but also emerging for other indications such as acute ischemic stroke and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.[53]

Neonatal thrombosis

[edit]

Treatment options for full-term and preterm babies who develop thromboembolism include expectant management (with careful observation), nitroglycerin ointment,pharmacological therapy(thrombolytics and/or anticoagulants), and surgery.[18]The evidence supporting these treatment approaches is weak. For anticoagulant treatment, it is not clear if unfractionated and/or low molecular weight heparin treatment is effective at decreasing mortality and serious adverse events in this population.[18]There is also insufficient evidence to understand the risk of adverse effects associated with these treatment approaches in term or preterm infants.[18]
