\nA deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein. A clot inside a blood vessel is called a thrombosis. DVTs predominantly occur in the legs and may have no symptoms. The non-specific signs of DVT include pain, swelling, redness, warmness, and engorged superficial veins in the leg. A DVT may go away naturally, but the most serious complication is when a thrombosis dislodges and travels to the lungs to become a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. DVT and PE are the two manifestations of the disease venous thromboembolism. A late complication of DVT is the post-thrombotic syndrome, which can manifest itself as edema, pain or discomfort and skin problems. About 1 in a 1000 adults develop a DVT annually.
