Classification

There are two broad forms of thrombosis, arterial and venous. They are somewhat distinct in their underlying pathophysiology, but there is also a degree of overlap in the underlying pathophysiology.

Thrombosis

Arterial thrombosis

Venous thrombosis

Superficial thrombosis

Deep thrombosis

Deep venous thrombosis

Hepatic vein thrombosis

Portal vein thrombosis

Others

• Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are manifestations of a single disease entity, called venous thromboembolism (VTE).
