Canadian Medical Association Journal 1963 January 27
THE THREE PROBABLE FACTORS INVOLVED IN DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS ARE: (1) stasis, (2) alteration in the endothelium of the veins, and (3) alteration in the clotting mechanism of the blood.Control of stasis is assisted by elevation of the foot of the bed and by the use of washable elastic stockings and early ambulation, together with foot exercises.
