2. stasis of blood - it is one of the risk factors in development of venous thrombosis. the stasis of blood will cause a decresed flow of blood in the veins which will lead to formation bof clots and will result in the development of venous thrombosis.
3. vessel wall injury - if there is an injury to the vessel wall there is chance of hypercoagulability or clot formation which will gradualy lead to venous thrombosis.
4. arterial insufficiency - arterial insufficiency is the condition that decreases the blood flow through the arteries.
