Correct answer: D. Pattern of blood flow

  • A. Endothelial injury
  • B. Hyper coagulability of blood
  • C. Altered blood flow
  • D. Pattern of blood flow

Explanation

Virchow's triad consists of endothelial injury, hypercoagulability, and abnormal blood flow, including stasis or turbulence. Thus the nonstandard phrase 'pattern of blood flow' is the intended exception, whereas altered blood flow is a recognized factor.
