Overview

Vein thrombosis is the formation of a thrombus within a vein, most often in conditions of venous stasis and hypercoagulability, where a fibrin- and red-cell-rich clot obstructs venous return. Deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs is the prototypical form and the principal source of pulmonary embolism, together constituting venous thromboembolism, but thrombosis also affects superficial, ovarian, cerebral venous sinus, jugular, and other vascular beds. Risk reflects Virchow's triad, immobility and surgery, vessel-wall injury, and inherited or acquired thrombophilias such as factor V Leiden, alongside pregnancy, malignancy, and infection. Diagnosis combines clinical probability with imaging and D-dimer testing, and management centres on anticoagulation and prevention of embolic complications. The peer-reviewed work collected here reflects this clinical range: postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis after COVID-19, internal jugular and transverse sinus thrombosis complicating sinusitis, venous thromboembolism after orthopaedic surgery and the duration of risk, inherited mutations in coagulation factors and regulatory proteins, intracardiac thrombus, and heart-type fatty-acid-binding protein in risk stratification of pulmonary embolism. Across these studies vein thrombosis appears across deep, cerebral, jugular, and ovarian territories, with attention to perioperative risk, thrombophilia, and embolic sequelae. The collection situates venous thrombosis as a major preventable cause of morbidity whose pathophysiology, risk factors, and treatment are central to thrombosis research.
