Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the condition of having a blood clot attached to the wall of a deep vein.
<h3>What is a blood clot?</h3>
Blood clots form when certain components of your blood thicken and combine to form a semisolid mass. This process can be triggered by an injury or it can occur inside blood vessels that are not clearly injured.
DVT is an abbreviation for deep vein thrombosis, which occurs when a blood clot forms in the deep veins of the legs. PE stands for pulmonary embolism, which occurs when a blood clot forms in a pulmonary artery.
