Discussion
• The initial response to injury is arteriolar
vasoconstriction, but this is transient and the
coagulation mechanism must be initiated to
maintain hemostasis.
• Protein C is involved in anticoagulation.
• Platelet aggregation occurs but this takes several
minutes.
![Page 5: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Neutrophils are not essential to hemostasis.
• Fibrin polymerization is part of secondary
hemostasis after the vascular injury is initially
closed.

Case-2A 73-year old man was diagnosed 1 year ago with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. He now sees his physician because of a transient ischemic attack. On auscultation of the chest, a heart murmer is heard. Echocardiography shows a 1 cm nodular lesion on the superior aspect of the anterior mitral valve leaflet. The valve leaflet appears to be intact. The blood culture is negative. Which of the following terms best describes this mitral valve lesion?

Discussion
• A thrombotic mass that forms on the cardiac valve is known as vegetation.
• Patients with cancer have hypercoagulable state that favor the development of thrombosis. Adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that arises from the glandular epithelium. Endocardial metastasis is quite rare.
• Atheroma forms in the arteries but not typically involve the endocardial surfaces.
![Page 10: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Mural thrombi are thrombi that form on the surfaces of heart chamber especially the left ventricle over an area of myocardial infarction or large blood vessels e.g. dilated aorta or its main branches.
• Phlebothrombosis is thrombosis in large veins due to stasis of blood.

Case-3• A 21- year old man sustains multiple fractures
including right femur and tibia and the left humerus in a motor car accident. He is admitted to the hospital and he is in stable condition. However, 2 days later, he suddenly becomes severely dyspneic. Which of the following complications is the most likely cause of this sudden respiratory distress?

Discussion • Fat embolism is a complication of fracture of long
bones (fatty bone marrow) which occurs few days after the onset of the fracture.
• Thromboembolism can occur after fracture plaster cast fixation and prolonged immobilization however, this takes a longer time (few weeks).
• Cardiac tamponade and hemothorax are immediate complications which occur immediately after the accident.

Case-4
• A 55-year old woman has had discomfort and welling of the left leg over the past week. On physical examination, the left leg is slightly difficult to move, but on palpation, there is no pain. A venogram shows thrombosis of the deep left leg veins. Which of the following mechanisms is most likely to cause this condition?
![Page 16: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A. Turbulent blood flow.B. Ingestion of aspirin.C. Hypercalcaemia.D. Immobilization.E. Nitric oxide.
![Page 17: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

![Page 18: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Discussion • The most important and the most common
cause of venous thrombosis is vascular stasis,
which often occurs with immobilization.
• Turbulent blood flow may promote
thrombosis, but this risk factor is more
common in fast flowing arterial circulation.
![Page 19: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Nitric oxide is a vasodilator and prevents
platelet aggregation.
• Aspirin inhibits platelet functions and prevent
thrombosis.
• Calcium is a cofactor in coagulation pathway,
but an increase in calcium has minimal effect
on the coagulation process.
![Page 20: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Case-5
• A 66-year old female comes to emergency department 3 hours after the onset of chest pain that radiates to her left shoulder. The serum troponin level is elevated. Thrombolytic therapy is begun. Which of the following drugs is most likely to be administered?
![Page 21: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

A. Tissue plasminogen activator.B. Aspirin.C. Heparin.D. Nitric oxide.E. Vitamin K.
![Page 23: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Tissue plasminogen activator is a thrombolytic
agent that causes the generation of
plasminogen which cleaves fibrin to dissolve
clots.
• Aspirin prevents formation of new thrombi by
inhibiting platelet aggregation.
![Page 24: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Heparin prevents thrombosis by activating
anti-thrombin III.
• Nitric oxide is a vasodilator.
• Vitamin K is required for synthesis of certain
clotting factors.
![Page 25: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Case-6• A 49-year old man is in stable condition after
an infarction of the left ventriclular wall. 3 days later, he develops severe breathlessness, and an echocardiogram shows a markedly decreased ejection fraction. He dies 2 hours later. At autopsy, which of the following microscopic changes is most likely to be present in the lungs?
![Page 26: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
A. Congestion of alveolar capillaries with fibrin and neutrophils in the alveoli.B. Congestion of alveolar capillaries with transudate in alveoli.C. Fibrosis of the alveolar walls with hemosiderin laden macrophages in alveoli.D. Multiple areas of sub pleural hemorrhagic necrosis.
![Page 27: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A. Congestion of alveolar capillaries with fibrin and neutrophils in the alveoli.B. Congestion of alveolar capillaries with transudate in alveoli.C. Fibrosis of the alveolar walls with hemosiderin laden macrophages in alveoli.D. Multiple areas of sub pleural hemorrhagic necrosis.
![Page 28: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Discussion • Acute left ventricular failure after myocardial
infarction causes venous congestion in the
pulmonary capillaries and increased hydrostatic
pressure which leads to pulmonary edema by
transudation in the alveolar spaces.
• Neutrophils and fibrin in alveoli would be found in
cases of acute inflammation of the lung e.g.
pneumonia.
![Page 29: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Fibrosis and hemosiderin laden macrophages
(heart failure cells) would be found in long
standing cases of left ventricular failure not in
acute conditions.
• Sub pleural hemorrhagic necrosis occurs if
there are pulmonary thrombo-emboli. These
thrombo-emboli can cause right sided heart
failure not left sided.

Case-7• A 76-year-old woman is hospitalized after
falling and fracturing her left femoral trochenter. Two weeks later, the left leg is swollen, particularly below the knee. She experiences pain on movement of the leg; on palpation, there is tenderness. Which of the following complications is most likely to occur after these events?
![Page 31: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A. Gangrenous necrosis of the foot.B. Hematoma of the thigh.C. Pulmonary thromboembolism.D. Fat embolism.
![Page 32: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A. Gangrenous necrosis of the foot.B. Hematoma of the thigh.C. Pulmonary thromboembolism.D. Fat embolism.
![Page 33: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Discussion
• The patient has venous thrombosis as a
consequence of venous stasis from
immobilization. The large thrombi can embolize
to the lung leading to pulmonary thrombo-
embolism and death.
• Gangrene occurs form arterial occlusion not
venous occlusion.
![Page 34: VTE-3 Case studies Dr. Abdelaty Shawky Assistant professor of pathology.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b73897/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• If hematoma had developed as a consequence
of the trauma form the fall, it would be
organizing and decreasing in size after two
weeks.
• Fat embolism can occur with the fracture but
pulmonary problem typically appear 1 to 3 days
after the traumatic event.
