11. What does DVT mean?
Correct Incorrect Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms within a deep vein, mainly in the legs. Non-specific indicators may encompass pain, swelling, redness, warmth, and engorged superficial veins. Pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening complication, results from the detachment (embolization) of a clot that travels to the lungs.
