Blood clotting in the veins of the inner thigh or leg
A blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in the leg. The risk of DVT is increased after major surgery and when immobile for a long period of time. Preventive measures include medicines to reduce blood clotting (anticoagulants), compression stockings and/or an intermittent compression pump. Getting moving soon after surgery also helps prevent DVT.

A blood clot which usually develops in the calf veins. This may produce pain and local swelling. If a portion of the clot breaks free it can be carried up to the blood vessels in the lung and may produce severe chest pain cardiac arrest and rarely death. There are various ways to reduce the chance of complication such as limiting any period of Immobilisation and using prophylactic medications such as Heparin, Warfarin or Aspirin. These act by thinning the blood and making it less likely to clot.
