Frequently Asked Questions

What is deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism?

A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the legs.

If part of this clot breaks off, it can travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening situation that obstructs blood flow.

What can cause venous thrombosis?

Venous thrombosis can be caused by several factors, such as prolonged immobility, surgery, obesity, pregnancy, tobacco use, and hereditary coagulation disorders.

Certain medications, such as hormone treatments, also increase the risk.

What is post-thrombotic syndrome?

It can be suffered by patients with a history of deep vein thrombosis or severe leg accidents.

Patients usually present with persistent symptoms over time such as swelling of an extremity, pain when walking, discoloration changes (earth color), thickening of the skin, ulcers in advanced stages and bleeding from varicose veins.
