lüll The aetiology of deep venous thrombosis Malone PC; Agutter PSQJM 2006[Sep]; 99 (9): 581-93Most ideas about the pathogenesis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are dominated by a 'consensus model' first articulated around 1962. This model invokes 'Virchow's triad' and attributes thrombogenesis in veins to some combination of 'hypercoagulability', 'stasis' and 'intimal injury'. This arose as a by-product of studies on the mechanisms of haemostasis and bleeding diatheses that were at best only indirectly relevant to thrombosis, and there are reasons for doubting the causal significance of 'hypercoagulability' and 'stasis' in the aetiology of DVT. Proponents of the consensus model make little reference to a substantial literature, mostly historical, that: (a) emphasizes the significance of the venous valve pockets (VVP) and blood rheology in DVT pathogenesis; and (b) describes morphological features specific to venous thrombi that a valid aetiological model must explain. This literature provides the basis for an alternative hypothesis of DVT aetiology, published some 30 years ago, which has been experimentally corroborated and is compatible with recent cell and molecular biological studies of the venous endothelium. We review this alternative hypothesis, considering its potential value for future research on DVT and embolism, and its significance for clinical practice.|Blood Coagulation Disorders/complications[MESH]|Blood Flow Velocity/physiology[MESH]|Endothelium, Vascular/pathology/physiopathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Models, Biological[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Veins/pathology/physiopathology[MESH]|Venous Thrombosis/*etiology/physiopathology[MESH] |
