Blood clot prevention

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), blood clots of the deep veins of the body, affects people of all ages and genders and can quickly become life-threatening if left untreated.

Blood clotting is an important way the body responds to injuries to prevent blood loss. However, sometimes these clots can form in the veins of the legs or pelvis causing a DVT, which can block the flow of blood back to the heart. If DVTs are not treated, the clot can break free and travel through the blood vessels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism (PE), a blockage of the blood vessels in the lungs.
