    Abstract

    The post-thrombotic syndrome represents a poorly understood and significant vascular health problem. This review focuses on our current understanding of the pathogenesis of post-thrombotic syndrome. We emphasize the cellular and molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the critical components of post-thrombotic syndrome. These include the initiation of deep venous thrombosis, the pathogenesis of elevated venous pressure, and the factors responsible for nonhealing of venous stasis ulcers.
