		Venous thromboembolic (VTE) disease, the syndrome in which blood clots form in the deep veins and often break loose to travel to the lungs, is one of the most difficult and serious problems in modern medicine.
		DVT is common in patients with local trauma and stasis, such as that associated with a leg cast, and in those who smoke, are obese, or travel in confined circumstances (the so-called coach-class syndrome).
		DVT that is isolated to the anterior tibial vein results in PTE in 30% of cases and is responsible for many deaths.

	Deep Venous Thrombosis
		Deep Vein Thrombosis is the formation of a thrombus (blood clot) within a deep vein, commonly in the thigh or calf.
		DVT may be related to prolonged periods of bed rest or inactivity, injury to the vein, surgery or pregnancy.
		A deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in a main vein that returns blood flow from the extremities to the heart and lungs and may grow big enough to completely block the vein.

	Deep Venous Thrombosis, economy class syndrome, symptoms, treatment and prevention of DVT
		The main symptoms of a DVT are pain and swelling in the affected leg, particularly in the calf.
		DVT is not only associated with air travel but has been recorded after any long period of immobility, such as a long car or rail journey or more commonly during a period in hospital, particularly in severely ill patients during prolonged periods of immobility.
		The diagnosis of DVT may be suspected by the symptoms and signs in an individual patient and the circumstances of the patient.

		Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot, known as a thrombus, in the deep leg vein.
		The deep veins that lie near the center of the leg are surrounded by powerful muscles that contract and force deoxygenated blood back to the lungs and heart.
		Left untreated, a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can break off and travel in the circulation, getting trapped in the lung, where it blocks the oxygen supply, causing heart failure.

	Deep vein thrombosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein.
		It commonly affects the leg veins, such as the femoral vein or the popliteal vein or the deep veins of the pelvis.
		There may be no symptoms referrable to the location of the DVT, but the classical symptoms of DVT include pain, swelling and redness of the leg and dilatation of the surface veins.

		The injury itself may have initiated damage to a deep vein, or the immobilisation during the wearing of the cast may have resulted in slowing of blood flow through it due to reduced muscular activity.
		A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot (thrombus) that develops in a deep vein, in this case in your left lower leg.
		Deep vein thrombosis can cause pain in the leg, and can lead to complications if the clot or parts of it travel in the bloodstream to other vital parts of the body such as the lungs and brain.

		A venous thrombosis is a blood clot that forms within a vein.
		Thrombosis is a specific medical term for a blood clot that remains in the place where it formed.
		Superficial venous thromboses can cause discomfort but generally do not cause serious consequences, unlike the deep venous thromboses (DVTs) that form in the deep veins of the legs or in the pelvic veins.

	LYMPHEDEMA DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS
		Venous thrombosis is a serious and life threatening potential complication of lymphedema, especially in stages 2 and 3 where the fibrosis is extensive.
		Simply defined venous thrombosis or blood clot is where there is a rapid coagulation of blood due to either sluggish blood flow or from a cut off of blood flow.
		Although their study was not designed to consider the effect on thrombosis formation, blood flow velocity served as a surrogate measure for the limited stasis and venous evacuation that could ultimately lead to the formation of thromboses.

	Dr. Koop - Deep venous thrombosis
		Deep venous thrombosis is a condition where there is a blood clot in a deep vein (a vein that accompanies an artery).
		It involves the formation of a clot (thrombus) in the larger veins of the area.
		Risks also include a history of polycythemia vera, malignant (cancerous) tumor, and inherited or acquired hypercoagulability (a condition where the blood is more likely to clot).

		Some patients with SCI develop deep venous thrombosis (DVT), or clots in the veins that sometimes give rise to clots in the lungs.
		Possible signs and symptoms of DVT include swelling of the leg, dilation of the veins, increased skin temperature, pain and tenderness, and, rarely, a bluish discoloration of the lower leg.
		Although other measures are sometimes used, the most common form of treatment for DVT is the use of anticoagulants, such as heparin and warfarin.
