Tromboflebitis
Definición:
Es la inflamación de una vena causada por un coágulo sanguÃneo .
Nombres alternativos:
Flebitis
Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo:
El hecho de permanecer sentado por un perÃodo prolongado, como en un viaje largo en avión, incrementa el riesgo de una persona a padecer tromboflebitis.
Los trastornos que incrementan las posibilidades de una persona a presentar coágulos sanguÃneos también pueden llevar a tromboflebitis. Los dos tipos de esta enfermedad son tromboflebitis superficial (afecta venas cercanas a la superficie de la piel) y trombosis venosa profunda (afecta venas más profundas y más grandes).
