About DVT
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot within a deep vein, typically in the thigh or calf. If a blood clot breaks free, it can travel through the bloodstream and reach the lungs. This is a serious medical emergency called pulmonary embolism, which can block blood flow from the lungs and heart, and even cause death
