La trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) ocurre cuando se forma un coágulo de sangre (trombosis) en una vena profunda, generalmente en la pierna. Los síntomas pueden incluir dolor e hinchazón en las piernas, y la TVP ocurre con mayor frecuencia cuando el cuerpo está inmóvil durante períodos prolongados, como después de una cirugía o una enfermedad. La TVP es grave porque los coágulos de sangre pueden desprenderse y alojarse en los pulmones si no se tratan.
