NEW 1 LOCAL CIRCULATION DISORDERS
Thrombosis = intravital blood clotting within vessels
Thrombosis Predisposing factors - Virchow triad: endothelial damage THROMBOSIS abnormal blood flow hypercoagulability
Thrombosis - atherosclerosis - inflammation - trauma 1) Endothelial damage
Thrombosis - turbulent - stasis 2) Abnormal blood flow
Thrombosis 3) Hypercoagulability Acquired Genetically determined - bed rest - trauma or surgery - malignancies - artificial valves - mutation f V - ATIII deficiency - High risk - smoking - atrial fibrillation - nephrotic syndrome - hyperestrinism - p.o. contraception Low risk
Thrombosis Types of thrombi: Micro: Gross: - parietal - red - white - mixed - hyaline - obturating
Thrombosis Red thrombus - stagnant (in veins) - composed of = erythrocytes + fibrin H&E
Thrombosis White thrombus - flux (within heart, aorta and arteries) - composed of = platelets + fibrin
Thrombosis White thrombus - flux (within heart, aorta and arteries) - composed of = platelets + fibrin H&E
Thrombosis Mixed thrombus - white thrombus cumulation - within heart, aorta and arteries - alternating Ery and Leu in fibrin network (coral, layered thrombus) - composed of = platelets + fibrin H&E
Thrombosis Hyaline thrombus - only microscopic (capillaries) because of DIC, TTP - composed of = platelets + fibrin H&E
Thrombosis Organization of thrombus: granulation tissue (capillaries, fibroblasts, macrophages) resorption recanalization
Embolism = spread of an object by blood stream to a place where narrowing prevents its further movement - embolus - embolization
Embolism venous embolization arterial embolization brain, spleen kidney, intestines... To lungs paradoxal embolization through foramen ovale
Embolism Types of embolization material: 1) Thromboembolism
Embolism Types of embolization material: 2) Cellular embolia - malignant tumors - amniotic fluid: labor amniotic fluid to veins of birth canal embolization to lungs heart failure or DIC - death
Embolism Types of embolization material: 3) Fat embolism viscosity surface tension fat fractures compression operation lung brain
Embolism Types of embolization material: 4) Air embolism > 100-200 ml air = O2 N = poorly absorbed foam "incompressible blood" bubble = foreign body = embolus DIC
Embolia By type of embolization material: 4) Air embolia from systemic circulation veins jugular veins female genitalia brain drains to lungs from veins of small circulation to brain chest surgery
Embolism Types of embolized material: 4) Air embolism - decompression disease - caisson disease
Ischemia = restriction in blood supply (local anemia)
Ischemia Depending on obstruction speed: gradual vascular atrophy complete fast ischemic necrosis = INFARCT(ION)
Ischemia Infarct(ion) - ischemic necrosis complete necrosis leucocyte rim marginal congestion partial necrosis + retention steatosis
Ischemia Types of infarct(ion): it does matter! completely different therapy, e.g. in CNS 1) White (anemic) - coagulative necrosis without venous reflux 2) Red (hemorrhagic) - significant reflux Development: discoloration
