Veins are divided into two: superficial and deep. The formation of clots in these deep veins that circulate between the muscles in the arm and leg is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Deep vein thrombosis is a disease that can have dangerous and fatal consequences as it can cause pulmonary embolism, that is, the filling of the lung vein with clot. In addition, it can also cause venous ulcer, which is defined as postthrombotic failure, in the future.
Deep Vein Thrombosis Symptoms
- Swelling in the area where the clot is located in the leg
- Pain and tenderness in the leg
- Tension and redness in the leg
- Appearance of varicose veins and open wounds in the future
It is important to detect deep vein thrombosis at an early stage and start the necessary treatment. Deep vein thrombosis treatment is planned individually according to the patient's condition. Medication, dissolving the clot with special catheters, breaking it down and removing it from the body are among the methods used in the treatment. Deep vein thrombosis disease, especially detected within the first 2 weeks, ensures that the clot is successfully dissolved and other complications are prevented.
