A)Venous thrombi tend to occur at sites where the vein is normal but blood flow is low. High pressure in the veins does not stimulate the formation of a thrombus. Retrograde blood flow is associated with postthrombotic syndrome, which occurs after a deep vein thrombosis has already developed. Arterial thrombi tend to occur at sites of arterial plaque rupture.
