Venous Obstructive Diseases

Description

Obstruction of the venous circulation creates high pressure in the capillary beds surrounding the affected area. As a result, edema and/or effusion are very common clinical signs seen in these types of diseases. Some specific examples of venous diseases are detailed below including Budd-Chari-Like syndrome, Portal Vein Thrombosis, and Cranial Vena Cava Syndrome.


Budd-Chiari-Like Syndrome

Venous Thrombosis

Thrombophlebitis

Description
  • The inflammation of a vein due to clot formation. Breaking the word down into its two parts, thrombo means clot and phlebitis means inflammation of a vein.


  • Thrombophlebitis is a problem when catheters are not maintained properly or are placed under unsterile conditions. This condition can lead to more serious problems such as septicaemia or endocarditis.


  • Thromboplebitis is a common problem in horses, but not dogs and cats.
