Overview
Historical Perspective
- In 1913, Burnham AC discussed thrombophlebitis in postoperative patients.[1]
- Historically, the treatment of thrombophlebitis was purely surgical and consisted of removal of the thrombosed vein.[2]
Classification
Thrombophlebitis can be classified according to the cause into:[3]
| Type of Thrombophlebitis | Description |
|---|---|
| Sterile | Most common type of thrombophlebitis |
| Traumatic | Associated with the following conditions:
|
| Infective | Mostly due to prolonged IV cannulation |
| Migratory | Recurrent thrombophlebitis at various sites. Associated with an underlying malignancy, most commonly adenocarcinoma of the pancreas |
Thrombophlebitis may also be classified according to the site into:[4]
- Superficial thrombophlebitis of the lower limb: most common location and it involves the great and short saphenous veins
- Superficial thrombophlebitis of the arms
- Superficial thrombophlebitis of the breast: also known as Mondor's disease
- Superficial thrombophlebitis of the abdominal wall
