Excerpt from The Science and Art of Surgery, Vol. 2: Being a Treatise on Surgical Injuries, Diseases, and Operations

The flbrin poured out at the inflamed point may in some cases be carried on through the terminal branches of the vessel into the capilla ries, and thus mav form buff-colored deposits in various organs, especially in the spleen. In other cases, the arteries and capillaries of a tract of tissue being thus plugged by embola, the blood in the veins leading l'rom the part will coagulate; and this coagulation, spreading into veins beyond the part primarily affected, will cause thrombosis of some larger veins. Should a piece of the thrombus projecting into a vein become detached, it will be carried on in the circulation until arrested at some point, as in the lungs, or, being arrested in and obstructing a venous trunk, it may give rise to ao-called phlebitis.
