Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

DVT is a dangerous condition that occurs when a large vein clots, usually deep in the leg.  These clots can be large enough to cause major damage to the lung(s) if they break off and float to and through the heart with the veins’ blood flow.  Although proper prevention is the best treatment, the doctors at the Vein Institute are also highly trained in the diagnosis and treatment options for this condition.  They are in fact, the leaders in the region for treatment of major DVT, especially when the condition requires a procedure to remove or dissolve the clot.
