VTE is the abbreviation of Blood clots and Venous Thromboembolism, if interpreted generally is a post-surgery disturbances that can cause swelling and pain in the part of the body that undergo a surgery. Maybe some of you have ever experienced it without realizing it, like the one that is experienced by of a close friend of mine.
At first the blood vessels occurs in blood clotting. The function of blood vessels that flows blood around the body tissue will be disrupted because of this blood clotting. Generally the formation of blood clots occurs in the legs after surgery. For severe conditions, these disorders can interfere with cardiac function in flowing blood to the essential organs that need it. The process of blood clotting is commonly called VTE.
Some basic conditions that could lead to the emergence of VTE:
- Blood flow is not smooth.
If the blood move smoothly, it is less likely to clot. But if the blood flow in blood vessels is slowed or blocked, blood clotting can occur due to the -
- Bad composition in the blood
Other factors that could cause it also because of certain substances in the blood vessel wall resulting from the poor blood composition. Things like this are the main cause of VTE.
- The walls of blood vessels
Layer of the blood vessel walls must be intact. Damage to the wall (e.g caused by surgery or injury) can inhibit blood flow and can lead to the formation of blood clots.
But don’t worry, the medical world going advanced today, has a method called KR surgery to overcome this disease, many patients who had helped with this method.
