DVT is a condition of the emergence of blood clots in the veins, usually occurs in veins in the legs, pelvis, or arms. Patients usually feel pain, swelling, and their body flushed and hot. Conditions will be more serious if the clot disrupts the flow of blood and cause blockage in the lungs called pulmonary embolism.
