Why does the stasis give microbleeds in the surrounding tissue, when the pulm. hypertension gives edema in the alveoli? I am especially confused because both pathologic conditions cause stasis of blood in the pulm. Arteries.

So, what are the differences and similarities between stasis and pulmonary hypertension? And are they both caused by left heart insufficiency?
