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.
Superficial thrombophlebitis: If the vein that has the clot is just under the skin, it is called a superficial venous thrombosis or superficial thrombophlebitis. This type of clot does not usually travel to the lungs unless it reaches the deep veins.
Superficial thrombophlebitis is the term for an inflamed vein near the surface of the skin (usually a varicose vein) caused by a blood clot.
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).
It is the longest vein in the body, running along the length of the lower limb, returning blood from the foot, leg and thigh to the deep femoral vein at the femoral triangle....Great saphenous veinSourcedorsal venous arch of the foot, and othersDrains tofemoral veinIdentifiersLatinvena saphena magna7 more rows
Thrombophlebitis is a swollen or inflamed vein due to a blood clot. Superficial refers to veins just below the skin's surface. Superficial thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of a vein just below the surface of the skin, which results from a blood clot.
Thrombosis is a general term that refers to a partially or totally obstructed blood vessel, be it in a vein or an artery. When the problem occurs in a vein, it is generally referred to as thrombophlebitis.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of thrombophlebitis in which a clot has lodged in one of the large, deep veins. These clots usually form in the legs where they block circulation and can be dangerous if they break off and travel to other parts of the body.
Thrombophlebitis is a condition in which inflammation of the vein wall has preceded the formation of a thrombus (blood clot). Phlebothrombosis is the presence of a clot within a vein, unassociated with inflammation of the wall of the vein (Fig.
Superficial veins are often visible under the skin and are typically thin and wispy. They carry blood from surrounding tissues to the deep veins. Deep veins are thicker than superficial veins and buried throughout the most inner parts of the body below the skin.
Sometimes superficial thrombophlebitis spreads to a deeper vein (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT). These deeper clots can be serious, even life-threatening. It is very important that you follow your doctor's instructions, keep all follow-up appointments, and watch for new or worsening symptoms of a clot.
In some cases, the blood clot can extend further up the vein. If the clot extends to where the superficial and deep veins join, a DVT can develop. This is more likely if the superficial thrombophlebitis is in the upper thigh or the groin, near to where the superficial veins and the deep veins of the leg meet.
Unlike deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, a superficial venous thrombosis is less likely to cause serious complications but it can still cause pain and discomfort. Blood clots and VTE are common, with millions of hospital patients experiencing this complication following procedures.
For superficial thrombophlebitis, your doctor might recommend applying heat to the painful area, elevating the affected leg, using an over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and possibly wearing compression stockings. The condition usually improves on its own.
Pain or tenderness that gets worse when you put pressure on the affected area. A swollen vein that feels like a tough "cord" under your skin. Pain when flexing your ankle (keep in mind that thrombophlebitis can happen in other parts of the body, but it usually happens in the legs)
If the clot is small, it might not cause any symptoms. If it's medium-sized, it can cause chest pain and breathing difficulties. A large clot can cause the lungs to collapse, resulting in heart failure, which can be fatal. About one in 10 people with an untreated DVT develops a severe pulmonary embolism.
