When clots become a danger

Causes & symptoms of thrombosis

A thrombosis is caused by a blood clot that partially or completely blocks a vein. The deep veins of the leg (DVT) are particularly frequently affected. Symptoms can include

  • Swelling (unilateral)
  • Feeling of tension or pain in the legs
  • Overheated, reddened areas of skin
  • Feeling of heaviness or visible vein changes

Even the first signs should be taken seriously. Often varicose veins often precede thrombosis. Read also: Spider veins: diagnosis & treatment.

Medical background & risk factors

Thrombosis is often caused by a combination of several factors, known as the Virchow triad:

1

Slowing of the blood flow

(e.g. due to immobility, varicose veins)

2

Damage to the vessel wall

(e.g. after operations or infections)

3

Increased tendency to clot

(e.g. due to genetic factors, hormones, tumors)

There is also scientific evidence of an increased risk with:

– Long-haul flights or long car journeys

– Smoking

– Taking hormonal contraceptives

– Pregnancy & puerperium

– Tumor diseases and chemotherapy

Your treatment options at the Vein Center Munich

We plan your treatment individually depending on the location, severity and duration of the thrombosis:

Drug treatment

z.e.g. anticoagulants (blood thinners) to dissolve the thrombus and prevent new clots.

Compression therapy

to relieve and stabilize the affected vein.

Long-term prophylaxis

for chronic coagulation tendency.

Cooperation network for interventions

If further interventional procedures are necessary, we work closely with specialized vascular centers and clinics to offer you the best possible care.
