Superficial Thrombophlebitis (ST)

Superficial thrombophlebitis, referred to as ST, is a relatively easy condition to treat, very often with minimal lifestyle changes and a careful follow-up with a vein specialist. The blood clot causing the pain may be reduced so that you don’t end up needing further interventions. If left untreated, ST can turn into a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that can become life-threatening. Don’t take chances with your life or your blood vessels. Call one of the experienced vein doctors at the Vein Care Center, with convenient hours and locations throughout New York City and New Jersey.

What Is Superficial Thrombophlebitis?

Superficial thrombophlebitis (ST) is a condition caused by an inflammation in a vein just beneath the skin because of a blood clot. This is a common condition affecting the legs, but can also affect the arms or neck. Unlike a deep vein thrombosis, the risk of the blood clot reaching the lungs is much lower.

Superficial veins play a critical role in the circulatory system. They help transport blood back to the heart and lungs for re-oxygenation. These veins also help cool the body in response to the environment with blood from deep veins. The blood clots that lead to thrombophlebitis cause inflammation of the blood vessels, leading to pain, swelling and other uncomfortable symptoms.

Visit the Vein Care Center, with offices in Greenwich Village, Midtown Manhattan, Upper East Side, and the Financial District in New York City, as well as in East Brunswick, Englewood Cliffs, Paramus, Riverdale, and Cranford in New Jersey. Their experienced vein doctors, led by Dr. Jonathan Arad use advanced medical technology for the diagnosis and treatment of venous diseases and multiple vein conditions, including ST.
