Everyone has a unique experience with DVT, but typical warning signs of deep vein thrombosis include:
It’s important to treat DVT, because the blood clots in your veins can break loose. Once broken loose, they can travel through your bloodstream and get stuck in your lungs, blocking blood flow. When a clot blocks blood flow to your lungs it’s called a pulmonary embolism, and when DVT and pulmonary embolism occur together it’s called venous thromboembolism. Left alone, DVT can lead to fatal health conditions.
The DVT experts at Florida Lakes Vein Center use safe ultrasound to produce detailed, moving images of your veins and tissues. We utilize doppler ultrasound—which assesses the blood flow through veins to highlight areas of restriction—and Duplex ultrasound to view the vein structure itself.
