Overview
Presence of a risk factor for thrombosis has an impact on the treatment of the patient. Short term anti-coagulation can be successful in the presence of a transient risk factor. Long term anti-coagulation is required in case of a persistent risk factor.
Risk Factors
The Thrombosis formation is a phenomenon that can be elicited by various conditions, all of which take effect by means of mechanisms of Virchow's triad. Blood stasis, endothelial defect or hypercoagulability.
