Thrombovascular disease represents one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality. Although coronary artery disease attracts most attention, other types of vascular disease also make a substantial contribution to the overall statistics. These include microangiopathy, particularly in relation to diabetes mellitus, and deep vein thrombosis and its associated complications of pulmonary embolus and postphlebitic syndrome.
