Thrombus is a solid mass of blood constituents formed in the vascular system.
Thrombosis is the inappropriate activation of the normal haemostatic process.
Embolus is a detached intravascular mass carried by the blood to a distant site.
Ischaemia is compromised blood supply causing tissue damage.
Infarction is ischaemic necrosis due to occlusion of arterial supply or venous drainage.
Normal haemostasis allows blood to exist as fluid in normal vessels.
Thromboembolic disease is caused by thrombosis, embolism, ischaemia, and infarction.
Virchow's triad includes endothelial injury, alteration of blood flow, and hypercoagulability.
Primary/genetic causes of hypercoagulability include factor V Leiden and antithrombin deficiency.
Thromboembolism can cause DVT-PE and demonstrates adherence to the vascular endothelium and lines of Zahn upon histopathological examination.
