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. The thrombus in the vein causes pain and irritation and may block blood flow in the veins. Phlebitis can occur in both the surface (superficial) or deep veins. Superficial phlebitis affects veins on the skin surface. The condition is rarely serious and, with proper care, usually resolves rapidly. Sometimes people with superficial phlebitis also get deep vein thrombophlebitis, so a medical evaluation is necessary. Deep vein thrombophlebitis affects the larger blood vessels deep in the legs. Large blood clots can form, which may break off and travel to the lungs. This is a serious condition called pulmonary embolism.

PHLEBITIS AND THROMBOSIS Basically it means a clot in the vein. As the venous system is divided in deep veins and superficial veins one can have clot in each of the systems. Only very rarely clotting can occur in both of the systems in the same time. Superficial vein thrombosis or SVT is also called superficial thrombophlebitis/phlebitis. The "itis" denotes that the vein is engulfed in an inflamatory process: the skin around the vein is read and painful. Swelling can be present as well. Unfortunately, many physicians treat this condition with antibiotics. This is completely unnecessary as in most of cases there is no bacterial infection. The main cause for the condition are varicose veins. Blood stagnates in those venous pools and will clot easily especially during inactivity. Injecting varicose veins can lead to superficial phlebitis as well. In the absence of varicose veins one should look for other reasons such as malignancy elsewhere in the body, gout, Buerger's disease. or an inherited tendency to clot. ( See FAQ The treatment of the condition is simple: evacuation of clot if the patient comes early to the physician, local compression with ace bandages or surgical stockings, and ambulation. The only medication to be given is ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) 5-7 days that will ease the pain and calm the inflamatory reaction. Occasionally SVT can be associated with DVT. Only in these cases is anticoagulation treatment necessary. If the underling condition for the superficial phlebitis was varicose veins after the inflamatory process has cooled off, surgery for the varicose veins is indicated.

Mayo Clinic Jacksonville Medical Services Phlebitis Phlebitis Treatment Appointments Clinical Trials Other Web Resources ... Medical Services Treatment of Phlebitis at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville (Synonyms: thrombophlebitis, thrombosis) When a clot and associated inflammation occur in a vein, the disorder is called thrombophlebitis. Often the name is shortened to phlebitis. A minor inflammation may be called thrombosis. Phlebitis may affect either a deep or a superficial vein. It can be caused by prolonged bed rest after an operation, paralysis, cancer or the use of the female hormone estrogen. Sometimes prolonged sitting during a long car or airplane ride will cause thrombosis of a vein. When the clot and inflammation occur in a readily visible vein near the surface of the skin, the diagnosis is superficial thrombophlebitis. The hard, tender clot can usually be felt and seen, and the affected area feels uncomfortable. Superficial thrombophlebitis rarely leads to serious complications. Treatment consists of applying heat to the area, elevating the limb and using anti-inflammatory medications. When phlebitis occurs in a vein deep in the leg (or, more rarely, in the arm), the condition is called deep-vein thrombosis. The condition can be diagnosed using ultrasound scans or X-rays taken after dye is injected (venogram). The principal danger of deep-vein thrombosis is pulmonary embolism. Several episodes of deep-vein thrombosis could lead to the development of a permanent obstruction and persistent leg swelling.

Peripheral Vascular Disease (En español) Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) involves damage to or blockage in the blood vessels distant from your heart—the peripheral arteries and veins . Your peripheral arteries and veins carry blood to and from your arm and leg muscles and the organs in and below your stomach area. PVD may also affect the arteries leading to your head (see Carotid Artery Disease ). The main forms that PVD may take include blood clots, swelling (inflammation), or narrowing and blockage of the blood vessels. Diseases of the arteries may lead to Arterial blockage Aortic aneurysms Buerger's Disease Raynaud's Phenomenon Disease of the veins may lead to Venous blood clots Pulmonary embolism Phlebitis Varicose veins Arterial Blockage Much like the coronary arteries, the peripheral arteries can be blocked by plaque.
