Deep vein thrombosis, also known as DVT, is a blood clot that forms in a vein, usually in a leg. Occasionally, a clot may form in the pelvis or an arm. Left untreated, it can lead to pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening condition in which one or more blood clots break loose from a vein, travel through the bloodstream, and block blood flow in one or both lungs.
