Deep vein thrombosis is a condition in which a large clot appears in a deep vein usually of the leg. This is dangerous because if the clot becomes too large, bits of it may break off and travel along the blood vessels as an embolism. If it reaches the pulmonary blood vessels, it is deadly. This condition is referred to as pulmonary embolism. ................
