La presencia de un trombo en una vena se denomina clínicamente tromboflebitis o flebotrombosis. En los vasos periféricos tales trombos suelen empezar en las bolsas valvulares y luego se extienden a lo largo de la pared venosa o dentro de la sangre circulante, o pueden obstruir completamente la luz del vaso. La adherencia a la pared venosa provoca una reacción inflamatoria con síntomas locales; a consecuencia de la flebitis asociada, el proceso se denomina tromboflebitis. Cuando el trombo no es muy adherente y se extiende por la circulación que persiste libremente, los síntomas locales de flebitis pueden ser mínimos o nulos, y el proceso puede considerarse flebotrombosis. 5, record 1, Spanish, - tromboflebitis
