• #1 Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/16911-deep-vein-thrombosis-dvt

  Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a thrombus (blood clot) develops in veins deep in your body because your veins are injured or the blood flowing through them is too sluggish. The blood clots may partially or completely block blood flow through your vein. Most DVTs happen in your lower leg, thigh or pelvis, but they also can occur in other parts of your body including your arm, brain, intestines, liver or kidney. […] Even though DVT itself is not life-threatening, the blood clots have the potential to break free and travel through your bloodstream. […] As many as half of those who get a DVT in their legs develop symptoms of intermittent leg pain and swelling that may last months to years. These symptoms are called post-thrombotic syndrome and can happen because of damage to the valves and inner lining of your veins leading to blood pooling more than it should. This increases the pressure inside your veins and causes pain and swelling.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1911303-clinical

  Deep venous thrombosis classically produces pain and limb edema; however, in any given patient, symptoms may be present or absent, unilateral or bilateral, or mild or severe. Thrombus that does not cause a net venous outflow obstruction is often asymptomatic. Edema is the most specific symptom of DVT. Thrombus that involves the iliac bifurcation, the pelvic veins, or the vena cava produces leg edema that is usually bilateral rather than unilateral. High partial obstruction often produces mild bilateral edema that is mistaken for the dependent edema of right-sided heart failure, fluid overload, or hepatic or renal insufficiency. Massive edema with cyanosis and ischemia (phlegmasia cerulea dolens) is rare. […] Leg pain occurs in 50% of patients, but this is entirely nonspecific. Pain can occur on dorsiflexion of the foot (Homans sign). Tenderness occurs in 75% of patients, but it is also found in 50% of patients without objectively confirmed DVT. When tenderness is present, it is usually confined to the calf muscles or along the course of the deep veins in the medial thigh. Pain and/or tenderness away from these areas is not consistent with venous thrombosis and usually indicates another diagnosis. The pain and tenderness associated with DVT does not usually correlate with the size, location, or extent of the thrombus. Warmth or erythema of skin can be present over the area of thrombosis.

  A DVT usually forms in the veins of your legs or arms. Up to 30% of people with a DVT don’t have symptoms, but sometimes the symptoms are very mild and may not raise concern. The symptoms associated with an acute DVT include swelling of your leg or arm (sometimes this happens suddenly), pain or tenderness in your leg or arm (may only happen when standing or walking), the area of your leg or arm that’s swollen or hurts may be warmer than usual, skin that’s red or discolored, the veins near your skin’s surface may be larger than normal, abdominal pain or flank pain (when blood clots affect the veins deep inside your abdomen), severe headache (usually of sudden onset) and/or seizures (when blood clots affect the veins of your brain). […] Some people don’t know they have a DVT until the clot moves from their leg or arm and travels to their lung. Symptoms of acute PE include chest pain, shortness of breath, cough with blood, lightheadedness and fainting. […] A DVT can take several months to a year to come apart, so you’ll need to keep taking blood thinner medicines as instructed and keep wearing compression stockings until your provider tells you to stop.

  Half of people with DVT have no symptoms. […] If the clot is in a deep leg vein, which is the most common place, then your calf or leg may be: swollen, painful, red, tender to the touch, warm. […] A blood clot can break off and travel to your lung. This is a life-threatening condition called pulmonary embolism. If you have this, you may have: shortness of breath, chest pain, a weak and dizzy feeling (from low blood pressure).

• #5 Deep vein thrombosis – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_vein_thrombosis

  Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of venous thrombosis involving the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs or pelvis. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, redness, and enlarged veins in the affected area, but some DVTs have no symptoms. […] The most frequent long-term DVT complication is post-thrombotic syndrome, which can cause pain, swelling, a sensation of heaviness, itching, and in severe cases, ulcers. Recurrent VTE occurs in about 30% of those in the ten years following an initial VTE. […] Symptoms classically affect a leg and typically develop over hours or days, though they can develop suddenly or over a matter of weeks. The typical symptoms are pain, swelling, and redness. However, these symptoms might not manifest in the lower limbs of those unable to walk.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK507708/

  Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms within the deep veins, usually of the leg, but can occur in the arms and the mesenteric and cerebral veins. Deep-vein thrombosis is a common and important disease. It is part of the venous thromboembolism disorders, representing the third most common cause of death from cardiovascular disease after heart attacks and stroke. Even in patients who do not get pulmonary emboli, recurrent thrombosis and „post-thrombotic syndrome” are major causes of morbidity. […] The clinical presentation of acute lower extremity DVT varies with the anatomic distribution, extent, and degree of occlusion of the thrombus. Symptoms may range from absence to massive swelling and cyanosis with impending venous gangrene. […] When present, signs and symptoms of acute lower extremity DVT may include pain, edema, erythema, tenderness, fever, prominent superficial veins, pain with passive dorsiflexion of the foot (Homans sign), and peripheral cyanosis.

[…] Your symptoms could appear suddenly, making it obvious you have a problem. The signs can also develop so slowly you barely notice them. And for about half of all people with DVT, the signs never appear until they have a pulmonary embolism. […] These are the five primary signs of DVT: […] Leg pain occurs in about half of all people who have DVT. Your pain may occur suddenly and cause severe discomfort. If that happens, you know you need immediate medical attention. […] When a blood clot blocks the vein, fluids start to build up in the tissues of your lower leg. As a result, you have swelling in your lower leg. […] At least 70% of patients develop tenderness in the affected leg. Your leg may feel tender to touch above the calf muscles or along the vein where it runs through the inner side of your thigh. […] The skin over the blood clot may turn red and feel warm. […] The skin on your affected leg may turn a reddish-purple or blue color. Though its quite rare, your skin may appear pale or blanched, a color change that happens if the clot completely blocks the vein.

  Deep venous thrombosis classically produces pain and limb edema; however, in any given patient, symptoms may be present or absent, unilateral or bilateral, or mild or severe. Thrombus that does not cause a net venous outflow obstruction is often asymptomatic. Edema is the most specific symptom of DVT. Thrombus that involves the iliac bifurcation, the pelvic veins, or the vena cava produces leg edema that is usually bilateral rather than unilateral. High partial obstruction often produces mild bilateral edema that is mistaken for the dependent edema of right-sided heart failure, fluid overload, or hepatic or renal insufficiency. Massive edema with cyanosis and ischemia (phlegmasia cerulea dolens) is rare. […] Leg pain occurs in 50% of patients, but this is entirely nonspecific. Pain can occur on dorsiflexion of the foot (Homans sign). Tenderness occurs in 75% of patients, but it is also found in 50% of patients without objectively confirmed DVT. When tenderness is present, it is usually confined to the calf muscles or along the course of the deep veins in the medial thigh. Pain and/or tenderness away from these areas is not consistent with venous thrombosis and usually indicates another diagnosis.

  Clinical signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism as the primary manifestation occur in 10% of patients with confirmed DVT. […] Even with patients with classic symptoms, as many as 46% have negative venograms. Furthermore, as many as 50% of those with image-documented venous thrombosis lack specific symptoms. DVT simply cannot be diagnosed or excluded based on clinical findings; thus, diagnostic tests must be performed whenever the diagnosis of DVT is being considered. […] No single physical finding or combination of signs and symptoms is sufficiently accurate to establish the diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). […] Patients with venous thrombosis may have variable discoloration of the lower extremity. The most common abnormal hue is reddish purple from venous engorgement and obstruction. In rare cases, the leg is cyanotic from massive iliofemoral venous obstruction. This ischemic form of venous occlusion was originally described as phlegmasia cerulea dolens („painful blue inflammation”). The leg is usually markedly edematous, painful, and cyanotic.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1911303-clinical

  In relatively rare instances, acute extensive (lower leg to iliac) occlusion of venous outflow may create a blanched appearance of the leg because of edema. The clinical triad of pain, edema, and blanched appearance is termed phlegmasia alba dolens („painful white inflammation”), a term originally used to describe massive iliofemoral venous thrombosis and associated arterial spasm. This is also known as „milk-leg syndrome” when it is associated with compression of the iliac vein by the gravid uterus. The affected extremity is often pale with poor or absent distal pulses. The physical findings may suggest acute arterial occlusion, but the presence of swelling, petechiae, and distended superficial veins suggest severe venous occlusion. As many as half of patients with phlegmasia alba dolens have capillary involvement, which poses a risk of irreversible venous gangrene with massive fluid sequestration. In severely affected patients, immediate therapy is necessary to prevent limb loss.

  Additional signs and symptoms include tenderness, pitting edema, dilation of surface veins, warmth, discoloration, a „pulling sensation”, and even cyanosis (a blue or purplish discoloration) with fever. DVT can also exist without causing any symptoms. […] A pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot from a deep vein (a DVT) detaches from a vein (embolizes), travels through the right side of the heart, and becomes lodged as an embolus in a pulmonary artery that supplies deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation. Up to one-fourth of PE cases are thought to result in sudden death. […] Another frequent complication of proximal DVT, and the most frequent chronic complication, is post-thrombotic syndrome, where individuals have chronic venous symptoms. Symptoms can include pain, itching, swelling, paresthesia, a sensation of heaviness, and in severe cases, leg ulcers. After proximal DVT, an estimated 20-50% of people develop the syndrome, with 5-10% experiencing severe symptoms.

  Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a thrombus (blood clot) develops in veins deep in your body because your veins are injured or the blood flowing through them is too sluggish. The blood clots may partially or completely block blood flow through your vein. Most DVTs happen in your lower leg, thigh or pelvis, but they also can occur in other parts of your body including your arm, brain, intestines, liver or kidney. […] Even though DVT itself is not life-threatening, the blood clots have the potential to break free and travel through your bloodstream. […] As many as half of those who get a DVT in their legs develop symptoms of intermittent leg pain and swelling that may last months to years. These symptoms are called post-thrombotic syndrome and can happen because of damage to the valves and inner lining of your veins leading to blood pooling more than it should. This increases the pressure inside your veins and causes pain and swelling.

  Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein deep inside a part of the body. DVT mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh, but can occur in other deep veins, such as in the arms and pelvis. DVT most often affects only one side of the body. […] DVT mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh, most often on one side of the body. The clot can block blood flow and cause: […] Redness of the skin […] Skin that feels warm to the touch […] Swelling (edema) of a leg or arm […] Pain or tenderness in a leg or arm. […] DVT often goes away without a problem, but the condition can return. The symptoms can appear right away or you may not develop them for one or more years afterward. Wearing compression stockings during and after the DVT may help prevent this problem.

  The most common presenting symptoms with inconsistent sensitivity and specificity are calf pain and swelling. The former index has a sensitivity of 75% to 91% and a specificity of 3% to 87%, and the latter might have a sensitivity of up to 97% and a specificity of up to 88%. […] Many DVTs will resolve with no complications. Post-thrombotic syndrome occurs in 43% of patients 2 years post-DVT (30% mild, 10% moderate, and severe 3%). The risk of recurrence of DVT is high (up to 25%). Death occurs in approximately 6% of DVT cases and 12% of pulmonary embolism cases within one month of diagnosis. Early mortality after venous thromboembolism is strongly associated with the presentation of pulmonary embolism, advanced age, cancer, and underlying cardiovascular disease.

  Without treatment, one half of patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) have a recurrent, symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) event within 3 months. After anticoagulation for an unprovoked VTE event is discontinued, the incidence is 5-15% per year. Presentations are similar, with pain and edema. However, the diagnosis may be difficult (ie, differentiating acute from chronic thrombus). Recurrence increases the risk of postthrombotic syndrome (PTS). […] Postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a chronic complication of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that manifests months to many years after the initial event. Symptoms range from mild erythema and localized induration to massive extremity swelling and ulceration, usually exacerbated by standing and relieved by elevation of the extremity. Evaluations of the incidence or of improvements with therapy have been problematic because reporting is not standardized. Furthermore, correlation between objectively measured hemodynamic changes and the severity of PTS is poor. After symptomatic DVT is treated with anticoagulation, the incidence of PTS at 2 years is 25-50% despite long-term anticoagulation for iliofemoral DVT, and, after 7-10 years, the incidence is 70-90%.

  Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a thrombus (blood clot) develops in veins deep in your body because your veins are injured or the blood flowing through them is too sluggish. The blood clots may partially or completely block blood flow through your vein. Most DVTs happen in your lower leg, thigh or pelvis, but they also can occur in other parts of your body including your arm, brain, intestines, liver or kidney. […] Even though DVT itself is not life-threatening, the blood clots have the potential to break free and travel through your bloodstream. […] As many as half of those who get a DVT in their legs develop symptoms of intermittent leg pain and swelling that may last months to years. These symptoms are called post-thrombotic syndrome and can happen because of damage to the valves and inner lining of your veins leading to blood pooling more than it should.

  Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms within the deep veins, usually of the leg, but can occur in the arms and the mesenteric and cerebral veins. Deep-vein thrombosis is a common and important disease. It is part of the venous thromboembolism disorders, representing the third most common cause of death from cardiovascular disease after heart attacks and stroke. Even in patients who do not get pulmonary emboli, recurrent thrombosis and „post-thrombotic syndrome” are major causes of morbidity.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1911303-clinical

  Deep venous thrombosis classically produces pain and limb edema; however, in any given patient, symptoms may be present or absent, unilateral or bilateral, or mild or severe. Thrombus that does not cause a net venous outflow obstruction is often asymptomatic. Edema is the most specific symptom of DVT. Thrombus that involves the iliac bifurcation, the pelvic veins, or the vena cava produces leg edema that is usually bilateral rather than unilateral. High partial obstruction often produces mild bilateral edema that is mistaken for the dependent edema of right-sided heart failure, fluid overload, or hepatic or renal insufficiency. Massive edema with cyanosis and ischemia (phlegmasia cerulea dolens) is rare. […] Leg pain occurs in 50% of patients, but this is entirely nonspecific. Pain can occur on dorsiflexion of the foot (Homans sign). Tenderness occurs in 75% of patients, but it is also found in 50% of patients without objectively confirmed DVT. When tenderness is present, it is usually confined to the calf muscles or along the course of the deep veins in the medial thigh. Pain and/or tenderness away from these areas is not consistent with venous thrombosis and usually indicates another diagnosis. The pain and tenderness associated with DVT does not usually correlate with the size, location, or extent of the thrombus. Warmth or erythema of skin can be present over the area of thrombosis.

You may have redness and tenderness or pain in the area of the clot. But you won’t always have these. About half of people with DVT get no warning signs. Once a blood clot is gone, DVT sometimes leaves behind an unpleasant reminder. You may see long-term swelling or changes in skin color where the clot was. Or it could hurt. These symptoms, known as post-thrombotic syndrome, sometimes show up as much as a year after the clot. […] Studies show long-distance travel — a trip that lasts more than 4 hours — doubles the chance of developing DVT. It doesn’t matter if you go by air, bus, train, or car. When you’re in a cramped seat and don’t move around, your blood flow slows.
