Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein in the leg or arm. There are two types of veins in the leg: superficial veins which lie just below the skin and can be seen on the surface, and deep veins which lie deep within the leg muscles.
In addition, very few studies on the predisposing factors for DVT post SCT have been published. The average age for patients with DVT, PE, or vena cava thrombus was 28 years. Age and a high patient body mass index (BMI) were among the factors associated with a higher risk for DVT.
