PART ONE
HEMOSTASIS & THROMBOSIS
Coagulation Cascade - Secondary Hemostasis
Series of protease enzymes
and their cofactors
Extrinsic
Takes place on phospholipid
surface (platelet or
endothelium)
Common
Consists of extrinsic, intrinsic
and common pathways
Results in formation of
stable fibrin clot
Intrinsic

Thrombosis
• Definition
– Formation of a mass of platelets, coagulation
proteins and RBCs (thrombus) in a blood vessel
• Hemostatic thromboses
– Self-limited and localized, prevent excessive blood
loss, represent the body’s natural response to
acute vascular injury.
• Pathologic thromboses
– A pathologic process, during which the balance of
procoagulant and anticoagulant components of the
coagulation system is lost
– Clot forms at site free of significant vascular injury
or there is failure to localize the thrombus, and the
vessel may be occluded
Thrombosis - Pathogenesis
• 3 primary influences
predispose to
thrombus formation
Virchow’s Triad (1856):
1.Endothelial Injury
2.Stasis
3.Hypercoagulability
Fate of the Thrombus
Propagation
1) Dissolution (cleared
by fibrinolysis)
2) Embolization
3) Propagation
4) Organization and
recanalization
Dissolution
Embolization
Organization and recanalization
Clinical significance of thrombosis
1. Obstruction of arteries and veins
– Ischemia or necrosis of downstream tissue
2. Embolization
Arterial Thrombosis
• Most common cause of death in Western
industrialized countries
– Myocardial infarction due to thrombotic occlusion of a
coronary artery is the #1 cause of death
• Endothelial damage
– Atherosclerosis

Hypertension
Hypercholesterolemia
Radiation
Endotoxins (in bacterial infection)
Atherosclerotic Plaque Disruption and Platelet Activation
Mohler E. N Engl J Med 2007;357:293-296
Venous Thrombi
• Most occur in the superficial
or deep veins of the leg
(DVT)
• Superficial thrombi
– Swelling and pain
– Rarely embolize
• DVT
– Pain, redness and swelling
– Asymptomatic in 50%
Pathophysiology of Pulmonary Embolism
Tapson V. N Engl J Med 2008;358:1037-1052
Thromboembolism
• Detached fragment from a thrombus is
carried to a distant site and lodges in the
vascular system
• Pulmonary
• Systemic
Pulmonary Thromboembolism
• Definition: a fragment of a thrombus dislodges and then travels
through the venous circulation to the heart and then lands in the
pulmonary arterial circulation
• Scope of the problem:
– Primary cause of death in 100,000/year in US, and a contributing
cause of death in another 100,000/year
– Cause of death in 10-15% of hospitalized patients
• Clinical symptoms (most are clinically silent)
–
–
–
–
–
Chest pain
Cough
Shortness of breath
Rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
Rapid respirations (tachypnea)
Pulmonary Thromboembolism
OUTCOMES
1.
Most are clinically silent (60-80%)
•
2.
Small
Sudden death, right heart failure or cardiovascular
collapse (5%)
•
3.
Occurs with obstruction of >60% of pulmonary circulation
Pulmonary hemorrhage
•
•
4.
From obstruction of medium-sized vessel
Infarction occurs in patients with compromised bronchial
circulation
Pulmonary hypertension (2-3%)
•
Multiple small thromboemboli
Systemic Thromboembolism
Emboli within the arterial circulation
• Most arise from thrombi in the
cardiac chambers in the setting
of myocardial infarction
• Many others originate from
thrombi on ulcerated
atherosclerotic plaques
Infarction
• Ischemic necrosis caused by occlusion of
either the arterial supply or venous
drainage
– Ischemia
• Isch = stop (Greek)
• Hema = blood
Infarction
• Scope of the problem
–More than half of all deaths in the US
are caused by cardiovascular
disease
• Myocardial infarction
• Cerebral infarction
Causes of Infarction
• Thrombosis
• Embolism
99% of • Twisting of vessels
infarction (torsion)
• Vasospasm
• Compression of blood
supply
• Rupture of a vessel
Vulnerability to hypoxia
• The susceptibility of a tissue to hypoxia
influences the likelihood of infarction
– Neurons: 3-4 minutes
– Myocardial cells: 20-30 minutes
– Fibroblasts in myocardium: several hours
Oxygen content of blood
• Patients with diminished oxygen content
are more susceptible
– Anemia or pulmonary disease
– Even partial obstruction of a small vessel may
lead to infarction, whereas under normal
circumstances it would be without effect
