Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an important global healthcare problem associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. This disease is an important manifestation of atherosclerosis and the pathophysiological processes involved in its development, progression and complications are atherothrombosis and thromboembolism. Over 150 years ago, Virchow described a triad of abnormalities (abnormal blood flow, abnormal vessel wall and abnormal blood constituents) associated with thrombus formation (thrombogenesis). An improvement in biochemical techniques has allowed quantification of various components of Virchow's triad, and as a consequence, there has been increasing interest in the measurement of such biomarkers in understanding the development and progression of PAD, as well as its symptomatic complications. This review discusses quantifiable components of Virchow's triad that have been associated with PAD and their clinical utility as risk factors for PAD.

Dural venous sinus thrombosis, a subset of cerebral venous thrombosis, is an important pathology due to its significant morbidity and mortality. This process has an annual incidence of three to five cases per million adults. Although copious predisposing factors exist, the core principles revolve around Virchow's triad: venous stasis, hypercoagulability, and vascular endothelial damage.

Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but serious condition that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Virchow's triad elucidates the role of blood hypercoagulability, blood flow dynamics, and endothelial damage in the pathogenesis of CVT. Cerebral venous congestion (CVC) increases the risk of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and can lead to recurrent episodes and residual symptoms.

Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a severe consequence that typically follows acute myocardial infarction (MI) and can occur in nonischemic cardiomyopathies. In patients who have experienced an ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI), LVT is seen up to 15% of the time; for patients without an ischemic cardiomyopathy, it is only 2% to 36% of the time. According to Virchow's triad, the cornerstone of LVT formation includes endothelial injury, blood stasis, and hypercoagulability.

Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the rapid growth in understanding FET::CREB fusion mesenchymal tumors, which now includes aggressive neoplasms not classified by WHO, specifically focusing on newly reported intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal cases with specific fusions like EWSR1::CREM and FUS::CREM.
- - Nine additional tumors were analyzed, involving various locations and a wide age range for patients, with treatment primarily consisting of radical surgery and some receiving additional chemotherapy or radiation.
- - The aggressive nature of these tumors is emphasized, with follow-up showing significant disease progression in some patients, while also noting similarities in immunophenotype across tumor subtypes, indicating a broader classification of potentially dangerous neoplasms.

(1) The three factors within the Virchow triad play the leading role in the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) during pregnancy. (2) This research approaches the various risk factors associated with DVT and its most representative complications, pulmonary thromboembolism and cerebral venous thrombosis, in pregnant and postpartum women across a 15-year period (2007-2021). (3) A total of 201 out of 287 patients with DVT had associated risk factors, while 86 did not present with any.
