<h3><strong>Pathophysiology: Inflammation of the vein because of a blood clot. Venous status, damage to the vessel, and hypercoagulability cause the blood to pool so blood can not move the way that it should so more clots form.</strong></h3>

<h3><strong>Overview</strong></h3>
<p>Pathophysiology: Damage to the valves in the vein causes blood to move back. The walls become damaged from this and platelets stick to them, which can cause clots to form. This prevents blood from moving forward and pressure increases and can rupture the capillaries.</p>
