Deep vein thrombosis or DVT describes a blood clot (thrombosis) that forms in the deep veins located in the arm, leg or anywhere in the body.
It is important to know the body’s anatomy and function to understand why clots form in veins and why they can be dangerous.
⇒Arteries have thin muscles within their walls to be able to withstand the pressure of the heart pumping blood to the far reaches of the body. Veins don’t have a significant muscle lining, and there is nothing pumping blood back to the heart except physiology. Blood returns to the heart because the body’s large muscles squeeze the veins as they contract in their normal activity of moving the body. The normal activities of moving the body returns the blood back to the heart. Being mobile causes this blood return system to fail, and the resulting stagnated blood may clot.
⇒There are two types of veins in the arm or leg: superficial veins and deep veins. Superficial veins lie just below the skin and are easily seen on the surface. Deep veins, as their name implies, are located deep within the muscles of the extremity. Blood flows from the superficial veins into the deep venous system through small perforator veins. Superficial and perforator veins have one-way valves within them that allow blood to flow only in the direction of the heart when the veins are squeezed.
⇒A blood clot (thrombus) in the deep venous system of the leg or arm, in itself, is not dangerous. It becomes potentially life threatening when a piece of the blood clot breaks off and embolizes, travels through the circulation system through the heart, and enters into one of the pulmonary arteries and becomes lodged. This can prevent blood from flowing properly through the lung and decreasing the amount of oxygen absorbed and distributed back to the body.
⇒Diagnosis and treatment of a DVT is meant to prevent pulmonary embolism.
⇒Blood clots in the superficial veins do not pose a danger of causing pulmonary emboli because the perforator vein valves act as a sieve to prevent clots from entering the deep venous system. They are usually not at risk of causing pulmonary embolism.
⇒There are both superficial and deep veins in the limbs or extremities (arms and legs). A blood clot in the deep veins is a concern because it can cause life-threatening complications.
⇒A blood clot (thrombus) in the deep venous system of the leg becomes dangerous if a piece of the blood clot breaks off or travels through the bloodstream, through the heart, and into the pulmonary arteries forming a pulmonary embolism. A person may not have signs or symptoms of a small pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs), but a large embolism can be fatal.
How does a person get deep vein thrombosis?
Blood is meant to flow. If it becomes stagnant, there is a potential for it to clot. The blood in veins constantly forms microscopic clots that are routinely broken down by the body. If the balance of clot formation and clot breakdown is altered, significant clotting may occur. A thrombus can form if one or a combination of the following situations.
Immobility
- Prolonged travel and sitting, such as long airplane flights (“economy class syndrome”), car, or train travel
- Hospitalization
- Surgery
- Trauma to the lower leg with or without surgery or casting
- Pregnancy, including 6-8 weeks after delivery of the baby
- Obesity
Coagulation of the blood faster than usual (hypercoagulation)
- Medications such as birth control pills (oral contraceptives), for example, Ortho-Novum, Yaz, Yasmin, Microgestin, Kelnor, and other estrogens
- Smoking
- Genetic or hereditary predisposition to clot formation
- Increased number of red blood cells (Polycythemia)
- Cancer
- Trauma to the vein
- Fracture to the leg or arm
- Bruised leg or arm
- Complication of an invasive procedure of the vein
Risk Factors for Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT
Risk factors for blood clot formation include immobility, a genetic tendency toward blood clotting, and injury to veins or adjacent tissues occurs.
There are other types of thrombosis such as:
- Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT).
- Portal vein thrombosis.
- Cavernous sinus thrombosis.
Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT Symptoms & Signs
Symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occur when there is a blood clot in one of the deep veins (vessels that return blood to the heart after it has delivered oxygen to the tissues). Most commonly, deep vein thrombosis occurs in a vein of the leg, but it can also occur in other locations such as the pelvis. The most serious complication of deep vein thrombosis is pulmonary embolism, in which a blood clot breaks off of the DVT and travels through the bloodstream and becomes lodged in a blood vessel of the lung. Symptoms of DVT involve the overlying skin and include
- Redness,
- Warmth,
- Swelling
- Tenderness,
- Pain,
- Leg cramps, often starting in the calf,
- Leg pain that worsens when bending the foot,
- Bluish or whitish skin discoloration.
The involved vein can sometimes be felt as a rough or thick cord beneath the skin. The location of the symptoms depends on the location of the blood clot. It is possible for a DVT to occur without causing specific symptoms.
Causes of deep vein thrombosis or DVT
There are many factors that can cause a blood clot in a deep vein. These include immobility of the leg, such as occurs with long airplane flights, hospitalization, or following surgery. Trauma to the lower leg also increases the risk, along with pregnancy and obesity. Conditions in which the blood is more likely than normal to clot (hypercoagulability) also increase the chance of deep vein thrombosis. Certain medications, smoking, and some medical conditions can increase the likelihood of the blood to clot.
Other deep vein thrombosis (DVT) symptoms and signs
- Arm Swelling.
- Calf Pain.
- Foot Pain.
- Leg Pain.
- Leg Swelling.
- Lump Beneath Skin.
- Redness of Skin.
- Tenderness.
- Warmth.
Signs and symptoms of superficial blood clots
Blood clots in the superficial vein system (closer to the surface of the skin), most often occur due to trauma to the vein, which causes a small blood clot to form. Inflammation of the vein and surrounding skin causes the symptoms similar to any other type of inflammation, for example,
- Redness.
- Warmth.
- Tenderness.
- Swelling.
Patient often can feel the vein as a firm, thickened cord. There may be inflammation that follows the course of part of the leg vein. Although there is inflammation, there is no infection.
Varicosities can predispose to superficial thrombophlebitis and varicose veins. This occurs when the valves of the larger veins in the superficial system fail (the greater and lesser saphenous veins), which allows blood to back up and cause the veins to swell and become distorted or tortuous. The valves fail when veins lose their elasticity and stretch. This can be due to age, prolonged standing, obesity, pregnancy, and genetic factors.
Diagnose deep vein thrombosis or DVT
The diagnosis of superficial thrombophlebitis usually is made at the bedside of the patient, based upon history, potential risk factors present, and findings from the physical examination. Further risk stratification tools may include scoring systems that can help decide whether a DVT is likely.
If the probability of a leg thrombosis is low, a D-Dimer blood test may be ordered.
- If the D-Dimer is negative, then it is unlikely that a DVT is the diagnosis.
- If the D-dimer is elevated, then the possibility of a DVT exists and an imaging study, usually ultrasound, is required to look for the DVT
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound is the standard method of diagnosing the presence of a deep vein thrombosis.
- The ultrasound technician may be able to determine whether a clot exists, where it is located in the leg or arm, and how large it is. It also may be possible to know whether the blood clot is new or chronic. If necessary, ultrasounds may be compared over time to see whether a clot has grown or resolved.
- Ultrasound is better at “seeing” the veins above the knee as compared to the small veins below the knee joint.
- Clots in the chest or pelvis may not be identified on ultrasound.
D-Dimer
D-Dimer is a blood test that may be used as a screening test to determine if a blood clot exists. D-Dimer is a chemical that is produced when a blood clot in the body gradually dissolves. The test is used as a positive or negative indicator. If the result is negative, then in most cases no blood clot exists. If the D-Dimer test is positive, it does not necessarily mean that a deep vein thrombosis is present since many situations will have an expected positive result. Any bruise or blood clot will result in a positive D-Dimer result (for example, from surgery, a fall, in cancer or in pregnancy). For that reason, D-Dimer testing must be used selectively.
Venography
Venography, injecting dye into the veins to look for a thrombus, is not usually performed anymore and has become more of a historical footnote.
Other blood testing may be considered based on the potential cause for the deep vein thrombosis.
Allopathic treatment and management for deep vein thrombosis
The allopathic treatment for deep venous thrombosis is anticoagulation or “thinning the blood” with
medications.
The recommended length of allopathic treatment for an uncomplicated DVT is three months. Depending upon the patient’s situation, underlying medical conditions, and the reason for developing a blood clot, a longer duration of anticoagulation may be required. At three months, the doctor or other health care professional should evaluate the patient in regard to the potential for future blood clot formation.
If the decision is made to continue with anticoagulation therapy for the long term, the risk/reward for preventing clots versus bleeding risks should be evaluated by a doctor.
Allopathic treatment of superficial blood clots
Allopathic treatment for superficial thrombophlebitis treating the symptoms with:
- Warm compresses
- Leg compression
- Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen.
If the thrombophlebitis occurs near the groin where the superficial and deep systems join together, there is potential that the thrombus could extend into the deep venous system. These patients may require anticoagulation or blood thinning drugs for rest of life.
Allopathic anticoagulation prevents further growth of the blood clot and prevents it from forming an embolus that can travel to the lung. The body has a complex mechanism to form blood clots to help repair blood vessel damage. There is a clotting cascade with numerous blood factors that have to be activated for a clot to form.
There are different types of allopathic medications that can be used for anticoagulation to treat DVT:
- Unfractionated heparin.
- Low molecular weight heparin: enoxaparin.
- Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) also known as direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
- Warfarin.
Some Physicians has guidelines that give direction as to what medications might best be used in different situations. For example, a patient with a DVT, and no active cancer, treatment with a NOAC would be recommended. If active cancer exists, the treatment of DVT would be with enoxaparin as the drug of first choice.
Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) work almost immediately to thin the blood and anticoagulate the patient. There is no need for blood tests to monitor dosing. The NOAC medications presently approved for deep vein thrombosis treatment include:
- Apixaban.
- Rivaroxaban.
- Edoxaban.
- Dabigatran.
All four are also indicated to treat pulmonary embolism. They also may be prescribed to patients’ anticoagulated with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation to prevent stroke and systemic embolism.
Side effects and risks of allopathic anticoagulation therapy
Patients who take anticoagulation medications are at risk for bleeding from any orifice and/or any organ. The decision to use these medications must balance the risk and rewards of the treatment. Should bleeding occur, there are strategies available to reverse the anticoagulant effects.
Patients who are contraindications to anticoagulation therapy, for example a patient with bleeding in the brain, major trauma, or recent significant surgery, hematuria (blood in urine), kidney failure, hemorrhoids/piles, open wounds, cancers etc. An alternative may be to place a filter in the inferior vena cava (the major vein that collects blood from both legs) to prevent emboli, should they arise, from reaching the heart and lungs. These filters may be effective but have the potential risk of being the source of new clot formation ????????. An IVC filter is NOT recommended for patients who are also taking anticoagulation medications.
Surgery for Deep vein thrombosis or DVT
Surgery is a rare option in allopathic treating large deep venous thrombosis of the leg in patients who cannot take blood thinners or who have developed recurrent blood clots while on anticoagulant drugs. The surgery is usually accompanied by placing an IVC (inferior vena cava) filter to prevent future clots from embolizing to the lung.
Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens describes a situation in which a blood clot forms in the iliac vein of the pelvis and the femoral vein of the leg, obstructing almost all blood return and compromising blood supply to the leg. In this case, surgery may be considered to remove the clot, but the patient will also require anticoagulant medications. Stents may also be required to keep a vein open and prevent clotting. May Turner syndrome, also known as iliac vein compression syndrome, is a cause of phlegmasia, in which the iliac vein in the pelvis is compressed and a stent is needed.
Complications with allopathic treatment
Pulmonary embolism is the major complication of deep vein thrombosis. With signs and symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath, it is a life-threatening condition. Most often pulmonary emboli arise from the legs.
Post-phlebitis syndrome can occur after a deep vein thrombosis. The affected leg or arm can become chronically swollen and painful with skin color changes and ulcer formation around the foot and ankle.

Preventing Varicose Veins, varicocele and Spider veins
Although spider veins and varicose veins and varicocele may not always be entirely preventable, there are various measures you can take to reduce your chances of developing them. Prevention tips include:
- exercising regularly,
- maintaining a healthy weight,
- avoiding prolonged sitting or standing,
- avoiding crossing your legs while seated,
- elevating your legs when resting, and
- avoiding wearing tight-fitting clothing around your waist, groin and legs.
