Abstract:
In the pathogenesis of venous thrombosis, stasis is essentially a permissive factor, allowing the normal defense mechanisms of the body to be circumvented. Although a platelet monolayer is an insufficient stimulus for fibrin formation, even in the presence of stasis, trace amounts of an activated clotting factor are highly thrombogenic in an area of retarded blood flow. The available clinical and experimental data suggest that, if thrombin generation is reduced, the great majority of venous thrombi are prevented.

What is Venous Return?
Venous return refers to the rate at which blood flows back to the heart from the body's peripheral veins. It's an integral part of the circulatory system as it...
Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the middle...
