Deep Venous Thrombosis After Radical Pelvic Surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
Deep venous thrombosis or DVT is a blood clot formation in one or more of the deep veins. The blood clot does not break down and therefore, it can become larger and occlude the blood flow within the affected vein. The most frequent sites are the leg veins (femoral and popliteal) and the deep pelvic veins. Rarely, the arm veins are affected (Paget-Schrötter disease). Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the most dangerous complication of DVT. PE occurs when the clot breaks into small pieces (emboli) and travel to the lung. The embolus may travel to other vital organs and cause life-threatening complications such as stroke or heart attack.
