Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot (thrombosis) forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. Symptoms can include leg pain and swelling, and DVT most often happens when the body is motionless for long periods, like after surgery or illness. DVT is serious because blood clots can break free and lodge in the lungs if not treated.
