Phlebitis When blood clots inside a vein or artery, at least two things take place: partial or complete obstruction to the flow of blood within the vessel, and inflammation. The veins of the lower legs are the usual sites of abnormal clots, and the reaction is commonly referred to as phlebitis - inflammation of a vein. Several factors may be responsible. Injury to the inside of the vein may disrupt the delicate lining layer of tissue, thereby triggering the clotting mechanism. Also, years of blood pooling in the legs from the effects of gravity, pregnancy or constraining garments may stretch the veins, injuring the lining and pulling apart the valves that direct the blood back to the heart. Acute symptoms may include redness, swelling, fever, pain in the calf and warmth of the leg. It may be painful to bend the foot upward. On a more chronic basis, swelling becomes prominent. Skin changes may include rashes, peeling and permanent darkening. Blistering with serious infection can also occur. In the most severe cases, so much tissue may be involved that amputation is necessary. Although the initial exam may strongly suggest phlebitis, further tests may be recommended. Confirmatory tests are usually of two types: invasive and noninvasive.

3. Phlebitis phlebitis. Doctors often use the general term "phlebitis" (meaning inflammation of a vein) to refer to a more specific condition known as thrombophlebitis, which involves the formation of blood clots, or thrombi, where inflammation occurs. most common form of phlebitis, called superficial phlebitis, occurs in veins near http://www.lebanonhealth.com/condi/446.htm

PHLEBITIS AND THROMBOSIS Basically it means a clot in the vein. As the venous system is divided in deep veins and superficial veins one can have clot in each of the systems. Only very rarely clotting can occur in both of the systems in the same time. Superficial vein thrombosis or SVT is also called superficial thrombophlebitis/phlebitis. The "itis" denotes that the vein is engulfed in an inflamatory process: the skin around the vein is read and painful. Swelling can be present as well. Unfortunately, many physicians treat this condition with antibiotics. This is completely unnecessary as in most of cases there is no bacterial infection. The main cause for the condition are varicose veins. Blood stagnates in those venous pools and will clot easily especially during inactivity. Injecting varicose veins can lead to superficial phlebitis as well. In the absence of varicose veins one should look for other reasons such as malignancy elsewhere in the body, gout, Buerger's disease. or an inherited tendency to clot. ( See FAQ The treatment of the condition is simple: evacuation of clot if the patient comes early to the physician, local compression with ace bandages or surgical stockings, and ambulation. The only medication to be given is ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) 5-7 days that will ease the pain and calm the inflamatory reaction. Occasionally SVT can be associated with DVT. Only in these cases is anticoagulation treatment necessary. If the underling condition for the superficial phlebitis was varicose veins after the inflamatory process has cooled off, surgery for the varicose veins is indicated.

Thrombophlebitis and Deep Vein Thrombosis The body's network of veins is meant to carry blood back to the heart after it has traveled through the tissues of the body. See: 'cardiovascular system' . 'Thrombophlebitis' and 'deep vein thrombosis' are both conditions that involve the formation of a blood clot in one of the veins in the body. 'Thrombophlebitis' is a condition where a blood clot forms in one of the veins that run close to the surface of the body- often visible through the skin. 'Deep vein thrombosis' is a condition where a blood clot forms in one of the veins lying more deeply in the body - usually within the muscles. Inflammation of the vein often occurs in both conditions as well. Thrombophlebitis In thrombophlebitis, a blood clot forms at a certain point in a vein that runs close to the surface of the body because of irritation or injury to the vein at that point. For example, thrombophlebitis may occur in a vein after an intravenous injection or infusion has been given in that vein. It may also occur as a result of irritation to a varicose vein. Symptoms of thrombophlebitis include: redness, swelling and heat in the area of the vein that has been irritated or injured

Veins1 Wireless RESEARCH CENTER: Vein Conditions Print this Condition Email this Condition Links/Reprints Discuss this Condition Phlebitis Quick Reference This condition is also known as inflammation of the veins caused by infection or injury. Two types of phlebitis can occur. The more common one is inflammation of the superficial or surface veins of the legs; the other type involves inflammation of the deep veins of the legs. Both result in an irritated, itchy, painful and tender feeling in the vein and the tissues beneath it. Detailed Description Phlebitis can also increase the chances of clot formation and result in a pulmonary embolism. Phlebitis in the deep veins can result in deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This condition results when blood circulation in the veins slows down or in blood that clots easily. Phlebitis can also result from vein injury in those with impaired circulation. It can develop following varicose vein damage in the legs. Prolonged use of an intravenous needle, particularly during illegal drug use, can also cause vein injury. Phlebitis can develop in people with pancreatic cancer, breast and ovarian cancers, or lupus. Treatment Phlebitis can be diagnosed from a physical examination; an ultrasound may also be necessary to detect if phlebitis has infiltrated the deep veins, resulting in DVT. With phlebitis in the superficial veins, treatment includes anti-inflammatory drugs, application of a heat source, and wearing elastic compression stockings.

Medical Services Treatment of Phlebitis at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville (Synonyms: thrombophlebitis, thrombosis) When a clot and associated inflammation occur in a vein, the disorder is called thrombophlebitis. Often the name is shortened to phlebitis. A minor inflammation may be called thrombosis. Phlebitis may affect either a deep or a superficial vein. It can be caused by prolonged bed rest after an operation, paralysis, cancer or the use of the female hormone estrogen. Sometimes prolonged sitting during a long car or airplane ride will cause thrombosis of a vein. When the clot and inflammation occur in a readily visible vein near the surface of the skin, the diagnosis is superficial thrombophlebitis. The hard, tender clot can usually be felt and seen, and the affected area feels uncomfortable. Superficial thrombophlebitis rarely leads to serious complications. Treatment consists of applying heat to the area, elevating the limb and using anti-inflammatory medications. When phlebitis occurs in a vein deep in the leg (or, more rarely, in the arm), the condition is called deep-vein thrombosis. The condition can be diagnosed using ultrasound scans or X-rays taken after dye is injected (venogram). The principal danger of deep-vein thrombosis is pulmonary embolism. Several episodes of deep-vein thrombosis could lead to the development of a permanent obstruction and persistent leg swelling.

Thrombophlebitis is one or more blood clots in a vein that cause inflammation. These conditions usually occur in leg veins, but they may occur in an arm. They cause pain and irritation and may block blood flow in the veins. Phlebitis can be near the surface (superficial) or deep Superficial phlebitis affects veins closest to the skin surface. It is rarely serious and, with proper care, usually goes away quickly. Sometimes people with superficial phlebitis also get deep vein thrombophlebitis, so a medical evaluation is necessary. Deep vein thrombophlebitis affects the larger blood vessels deep in the legs. Large blood clots can form, then break away and travel to the lungs. This is a serious condition called pulmonary embolism.

Herbal Glossary Medicinal Glossary Herbal Preparations Thrombosis/Phlebitis/Embolism Contents: Definition Causes Symptoms Herbs ... Bibliography Definition Phlebitis: the inflammation of a vein. Cause unknown. May occur in acute or chronic infections or following operations or childbirth. Embolism: the obstruction of a blood vessel by foreign substances or a blood clot. Diagnosis depends upon predisposing factors. Embolism usually due to blood clots. Thrombosis: the formation, development, or existence of a blood clot or thrombus within the vascular system. This is a life-saving process when it occurs during hemorrhage. It is a life-threatening event when it occurs at any other time because the clot can occlude a vessel and stop the blood supply to an organ or a part. The thrombus, if detached, becomes an embolus and occludes a vessel at a distance from the original site; for example a clot in the leg may break off and cause a pulmonary (lung) embolus. Consult the doctor immediately. Back to Top Causes Thrombosis: Trauma, esp. following an operation, childbirth, cardiac and vascular disorders, obesity, heredity, increasing age, an excess of erythrocytes (red blood cells) and of platelets, an overproduction of fibrinogen, and sepsis (bacteria or other harmful organisms in the blood stream) are predisposing causes.
