Topic:Thrombosis
Thrombosis in horses refers to the formation of blood clots within blood vessels, which can impede normal blood flow and lead to various health issues. This condition can occur in both veins and arteries, affecting different parts of the equine circulatory system. Thrombosis can result from a variety of factors, including endothelial damage, changes in blood flow, and alterations in blood composition. In horses, common sites for thrombosis include the jugular vein and digital veins. Clinical signs may vary depending on the location and severity of the clot. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of thrombosis in horses, providing insights into its impact on equine health and potential treatment strategies.
Traumatic duodenitis with subsequent thrombosis of the posterior vena cava in a horse. The possible sequelae of traumatic perforation
of the reticulum of cattle are described by Blood
and Henderson (1963). Traumatic splenitis and
hepatitis following perforation of the reticulum
have also been described in detail (Blood and
Hutchins 1955).
Frank (1959) described and illustrated both
thrombus formation and stricture of the posterior
vena cava following traumatic reticulitis with subsequent abscess formation. The proximity of the
abscess to the posterior vena cava apparently
caused erosion of the vessel wall, and the inflammatory reaction initiated the formation of a
thr...
A retrospective study of the prevalence in equine postmortems of cranial mesenteric arteritis caused by Strongylus vulgaris in Alberta (2010 to 2022). is one of the most pathogenic nematodes affecting equids. Larval migration through the cranial mesenteric artery (CMA) with attendant arteritis and thromboembolism can result in fatal non-strangulating intestinal infarction. Once considered a historical disease, recent studies have described the reemergence of this pathogen in several European countries; however, little is known of the current prevalence of in the Canadian horse population. Unassigned: To determine the prevalence of active cranial mesenteric arteritis in horses submitted for postmortem examination to the Diagnostic Services...
