Thrombosis

Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus). Thrombosis can occur in blood vessels in various diseases. Thus, thrombosis of an artery causes a cessation of blood flow in it and interferes with the access of blood to the tissue that the artery supplies with blood. Obstruction of any cerebral artery is one of the reasons for the development of apoplexy in a person, and thrombosis of the coronary artery can cause a heart attack in a patient (see Myocardial infarction).

Thrombosis can also develop in the veins, accompanied by their inflammation (see Phlebitis, Phlebothrombosis). A thrombus can break off and be transported through the bloodstream into some other vessel (see Embolism).

Thrombosis is the formation of temporary or permanent bleeding. If it breaks off and travels along with the blood through the blood vessels, then embolization occurs. This can lead to serious consequences such as blockage of arteries and veins, which can lead to myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism and even death.

The reasons for the formation of blood clots can be different, but most of them are associated with diseases of the heart, blood vessels and increased cholesterol levels in the blood. Blood clots can form in arteries, veins, or the heart. At the beginning, it looks like a blood clot that partially closes the vessel. However, over time, the clot becomes denser and harder, thereby limiting the flow of blood to the area.

Symptoms of thrombosis may vary depending on the location and extent of the lesion. For example, if a blood clot forms in an artery, the blood will decrease and lead to tissue ischemia. Typically, with thrombosis of the leg arteries, patients may experience pain, tingling and numbness in the limbs. With coronary artery thrombosis, symptoms may include acute or chronic chest pain and trouble breathing or heartbeat.

Treatment of thrombosis depends on the cause and extent of damage to the vessel/artery/veins. The most common treatments include anticoagulants such as heparin and warfarin, which prevent blood clotting and blood clots. Other treatments include surgery, targeted vascular repair techniques, and adding new tubes to the body to support blood flow.

However, since thrombosis is often associated with diseases of the heart and blood vessels, treatment is not aimed
