📋Overview
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition characterized by the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. It is a serious medical condition because the clot can partially or completely block blood flow and may dislodge, causing a pulmonary embolism. DVT is a well-established vascular disorder with recognized risk factors and diagnostic criteria.
