An organization dedicated to educating the public and health care providers about DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis). DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the lower limbs. A complication of DVT, pulmonary embolism, can occur when a fragment of a blood clot breaks loose from the wall of the vein and migrates to the lungs, where it blocks a pulmonary artery or one of its branches. Up to 2 million Americans are affected annually by DVT Of those who develop PE, up to 200,000 will die each year More people die in the United States from PE than breast cancer and AIDS combined
