Thrombophlebitis

Overview

The production of a blood clot in the context of venous inflammation or damage is referred to as thrombophilia. Many intrinsic diseases, through a range of hypercoagulopathy syndromes, can predispose people to thrombophlebitis.

A thrombophlebitic response can also be triggered by traumatic situations. Furthermore, persistent substantial reflux into a vein that has been treated with a sclerosing agent might result in phlebitis. More typically, phlebitis develops if perforator veins in the sclerotherapy area are not identified and treated.
