Overview

Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot, or thrombus, within an intact blood vessel, obstructing flow and potentially fragmenting into emboli that lodge in distant vessels. Its pathogenesis is classically framed by Virchow's triad of endothelial injury, abnormal or stagnant flow, and hypercoagulability, with arterial thrombi typically platelet-rich and forming on ruptured atherosclerotic plaque, and venous thrombi fibrin-rich and arising in conditions of stasis. Inherited and acquired thrombophilias, malignancy, infection, pregnancy, surgery, and immobility all raise risk, and the consequences range from deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism to stroke, myocardial infarction, and organ infarction. The peer-reviewed work assembled here reflects this spread: postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis after COVID-19, internal jugular and transverse sinus thrombosis complicating sinusitis, retinal arterial and venous occlusions associated with plasminogen activator inhibitor and factor V Leiden mutations, hypercoagulability in acute leukaemia, inherited mutations in coagulation factors and regulatory proteins, vascular graft failure, and intracardiac thrombus. Across these studies thrombosis appears in venous, arterial, retinal, and cardiac territories, with attention to inherited thrombophilia, infection- and malignancy-associated coagulopathy, and post-COVID microthrombosis. The collection situates thrombosis as a disorder of the haemostatic balance whose diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment span multiple organ systems and underpin the broader study of thrombotic disease.
