Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot, or thrombus, forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. This blockage in blood flow results in leg pain and swelling. This can become more serious if blood clots in the legs break loose, travel through the bloodstream and become lodged in the blood vessels of the lungs which will block the normal blood flow and decrease the amount of oxygen that is carried through the body by the blood. This is called a pulmonary embolism (PE) and can be life-threatening.
