title: Both sides of the hypercoagulable state.
abstract: Thrombosis can occur on the venous or the arterial side of the circulation. Each has different causes, requires a different diagnostic workup, and responds to different therapies. Venous thrombosis may be situational, but may also reflect inherited or acquired anticoagulation defects. Arterial thrombosis usually results from abnormalities in the blood vessel wall--most often atherosclerosis.
