Deep Varicose Veins Treatment
Deep Vein Thrombosis, also called a DVT, is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein. The cause of a DVT is the result of injured veins with valves that stopped working. As a result of this, the vein cannot apply necessary pressure to push the blood back up to the heart and thus creates a clutter of blood known as a DVT. These blood clots are dangerous because they can travel to the lungs and cause a life-threatening condition called pulmonary embolism.
