DVT is a life-threatening condition — here's what doctors want you to know about your risk and what you can do to safeguard your health.
Dr. Joseph Naoum, an endovascular and vascular surgeon at Houston Methodist Cardiovascular Surgery Associates and Houston Methodist Clear Lake Hospital, uses a metaphor to explain why issues arise when platelets and clotting factors cluster together: “Imagine a main highway and its feeder roads. An accident on a feeder road would block that road, causing a bottleneck without directly affecting the main highway,” he says. “Conversely, an accident on the highway can plug up that route, cause significant congestion, and also impact traffic flowing in from the feeder roads.”
