Arterial thrombosis is associated with an atherosclerotic plaque being ruptured. It is hence associated with high pressure arteries. The thrombus is made of many platelets and contains little fibrin. It can lead to stroke or acute myocardial infarction in the most severe cases.
Venous thrombosis is caused by vessel injury or static blood flow in a low-pressure venous system. The thrombus is made of fibrin and red blood cells with very little platelets. It can detach to form an embolus and may cause pulmonary embolism.
