Superficial thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of a vein just below the surface of the skin, which results from a blood clot. This condition may occur after recently using an IV line, or after trauma to the vein. Some symptoms can include pain and tenderness along the vein and hardening and feeling cord-like.
Phlebitis (fle-BYE-tis) means inflammation of a vein. Thrombophlebitis is due to one or more blood clots in a vein that cause inflammation. Thrombophlebitis usually occurs in leg veins, but it may occur in an arm or other parts of the body.
Superficial thrombophlebitis is an inflammatory condition of the veins due to a blood clot just below the surface of the skin. It usually occurs in the legs, but it can occasionally occur in the arms and neck. Anyone can develop superficial thrombophlebitis, but females are affected more than males.

Thrombophlebitis (throm-boe-fluh-BY-tis) is an inflammatory process that causes a blood clot to form and block one or more veins, usually in the legs. The affected vein might be near the surface of the skin (superficial thrombophlebitis) or deep within a muscle (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT).
Superficial thrombophlebitis causes a painful swelling along the course of the veins close to the surface of the skin. The pain may vary from moderate discomfort to a cramp-like pain. The pain gradually subsides over a period of one to two weeks, leaving hard clots that can be felt along the course of the veins.
Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) refers to a blood clot in a vein near the surface, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a clot in a deep vein in the body, usually in the leg. Superficial vein thrombosis can present as pain and inflammation while deep clots can travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism.
PhlebitisMechanical phlebitis. Mechanical phlebitis occurs where the movement of a foreign object (cannula) within a vein causes friction and subsequent venous inflammation (Stokowski et al, 2009) (Fig 1). ... Chemical phlebitis. ... Infective phlebitis.
Great Saphenous Vein (GSV) – The GSV is the large superficial vein of the leg and the longest vein in the entire body. It can be found along the length of the lower limb, returning blood from the thigh, calf, and foot to the deep femoral vein at the femoral triangle.
What causes superficial thrombophlebitis? Long periods of inactivity that decrease blood flow, such as: Sitting for a long time, such as in a car, truck, bus, train or airplane. After surgery or a serious injury.
Superficial thrombophlebitis in a leg is not usually serious. The blood clot usually clears and the inflammation dies down within a few weeks. Most people with superficial thrombophlebitis are otherwise well.
Superficial thrombophlebitis is not usually a serious condition and often settles down and goes away on its own within 2–6 weeks. However, it can be recurrent and persistent and cause significant pain and immobility.
In most cases, superficial thrombophlebitis goes away on its own after a few weeks. If needed, we can encourage healing with: Oral or topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
The ICD code I80 is used to code Thrombosis. Thrombosis (Greek: θρόμβωσις) is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus; Greek: θρόμβος) inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss.
A clot that breaks free and begins to travel around the body is known as an embolus. Specialty:
