What does DVT stand for?
Correct Incorrect Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) refers to a blood clot (thrombus) that forms in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, redness, warmth, and engorged superficial veins. A serious complication, pulmonary embolism, can occur when the clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs, potentially causing life-threatening effects.
