Summary

Hypercoagulable disorders, a key part of Virchow triad, are increasingly identified as causes of thrombosis. Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for managing these conditions and reducing patient morbidity and mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Sciences
  • Hematology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Thrombosis is a leading cause of death in the United States.
  • Virchow's triad (vessel wall changes, reduced blood flow, blood composition alteration) provides a framework for understanding thrombosis.
  • The hypercoagulability component of Virchow's triad was historically poorly defined but is now better understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review hypercoagulable disorders and their role in thrombotic events.
  • To emphasize the importance of early recognition and diagnosis of hypercoagulable conditions.
  • To guide vascular surgeons in the management of hypercoagulable disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Review of acquired and congenital hypercoagulable disorders.
  • Analysis of the clinical presentation and impact of hypercoagulable-related thromboses.
  • Discussion of the role of vascular surgeons in patient management.

Main Results:

  • Numerous acquired and congenital hypercoagulable disorders have been identified over the past 40 years.
  • These disorders enable determination of the cause of thrombotic events in many patients.
  • Hypercoagulable-related thromboses are typically venous, but can also be arterial, leading to significant morbidity and mortality.

Conclusions:

  • Early recognition and diagnosis of hypercoagulable disorders are essential.
  • Appropriate management of these disorders can lead to better outcomes for patients experiencing thrombotic events.
  • Understanding hypercoagulability is critical for vascular surgeons involved in thrombosis management.
