Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot within the cardiovascular system, while thromboembolism describes a thrombus that has travelled through the vasculature and caused partial or complete obstruction of a vascular lumen. Thrombosis and thromboembolism occur as a consequence of derangements in the haemostatic system. This chapter looks at pathophysiology; causes of thrombosis: specific disorders with increased risk of thrombosis or thromboembolism; clinical signs; diagnosis; therapy; prognosis.
