If virchow's triad leads to VENOUS thrombosis then how can ATHERESCLEROSIS (an arterial) be a contributing factor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Henryshepherd24 (talk • contribs) 23:36, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As far as i know, virchow's triad affects arteries also, not just veins. Administrator Jr. (talk) 13:56, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi my name is nicolas bourdon, I just wanted to submit you this other factor favoring thrombus:

atherosclerosis
prolonged immobilization, varicose veins, extrinsic compression of the vein, heart failure, atrial fibrillation (in this case the blood pools in the atria) ...
thrombophilie (antithrombine, protein C, protein S), antiphospholipides syndroms.
some contracpetiv pills

Each factor would be favoring one of the virchow triade category.
