Etiology and Pathophysiology of Deep Vein Thrombosis explores the underlying causes and biological mechanisms leading to clot formation in the deep veins. The session will examine key risk factors—including venous stasis, endothelial injury, and hypercoagulability—as described by Virchow’s triad. It will also discuss how inflammation, blood flow alteration, and coagulation cascade activation contribute to thrombus development. Participants will gain a clear understanding of clot propagation, potential complications such as pulmonary embolism, and the importance of early detection and prevention strategies.
