[The pathogenesis of acute thrombophlebitis of the lower extremities]
Abstract:
It is emphasized in the discussed problem that several factors participate simultaneously in the mechanism of thrombogenesis. At the same time, local hemodynamic disorders (congestion, turbulent flow, local hypoxemia) lead to pathological changes of blood platelet hemostatic properties in these regions, which is conducive to local thrombus formation. Inflammation develops as a consequence of the response of the venous wall to stimulators of infectious, autoimmune or neoplastic character arriving along the lymphatic vessels, capillaries and perivascular spaces.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
Veins of Lower Limbs
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the knee,...
