Deep Vein Thrombosis – DVT

A

Vascular Specialist

will treat

Deep Vein Thrombosis

(DVT). This is where a blood clot forms in the major

veins

of the body – usually the legs. Complications can arise when blood clots dislodge, travel in the bloodstream, and then lodge in other veins or

arteries

causing a blockage (called an

embolism

). Treatment will depend on the location and severity of the clot. Some small clots may resolve spontaneously without treatment but a

DVT

is generally treated intensively.
