Frequently Asked Questions
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in one of the deep veins, most commonly in the leg. DVT can cause leg pain, swelling, and warmth, but it may also be silent. The main danger of DVT is that the clot can break off and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism (PE), which can be life-threatening.
