A clot blocks blood circulation through these veins, which carry blood from the lower body back to the heart. The blockage can cause acute pain, swelling, or warmth in the affected leg. Blood clots in the veins can cause inflammation (irritation) called thrombophlebitis. Severe complications of deep vein thrombosis occur when a clot breaks loose (or embolizes) and travels through the bloodstream, causing blockage of blood vessels (pulmonary arteries) in the lung.
Large blood clots in the legs can cause symptoms such as leg redness and warmth, leg swelling, and leg pain that worsens when standing up or walking, according to ClotCare. While blood clots located below the knee are unlikely to cause complications, clots that start or extend above the knee sometimes break away, travel through the blood and block blood vessels in the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.
