Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a medical condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein. These clots usually develop in the lower leg, thigh, or pelvis, but they can also occur in the arm. It is important to know about DVT because it can happen to anybody and can cause serious illness, disability, and in some cases, death.
People travelling for extended periods of time may be at increased risk of DVT because they have limited movement. The increased risk is usually associated with air travel, but DVT can also form during travel by bus, train, or car. Most people who develop travel-associated DVT have additional risk factors,

including a previous history of blood clot, a known clotting disorder, recent surgery or injury, obesity, smoking, diabetes, active cancer (or undergoing chemotherapy), use of estrogen-containing birth control or hormone replacement therapy, vascular problems, old age, limited mobility, and family history of blood clots. Symptoms such as leg pain, tenderness, oedema or swelling are typically associated with DVT, but the condition may only be definitively diagnosed if validated objective diagnostic tests, such as compression ultrasonography, venography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are performed.
