What is a DVT?
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an abnormal formation of a clot (thrombus) in the veins of the leg, thigh, or pelvis. DVT can be a serious condition because blood clots in veins can break off and travel to the arteries of the lung. Known as pulmonary embolism (PE), this obstruction of the lung arteries makes it difficult to take in oxygen and can cause death. PE accounts for approximately 100,000 deaths per year in the United States.
