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.
A DVT is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep inside your body. DVT mainly occurs in the large veins in the lower leg or thigh, but blood clots can form in other parts of the body. The symptoms of DVT include swelling, pain or tenderness, and warmth or redness of the skin on the affected leg.
