DVT

Visit http://www.healthanimations.com/heart for FREE videos, illustrations and patient handouts for healthcare providers. This 3D medical animation shows a blood clot forming in a lower leg vein, creating a deep vein thrombosis, or DVT. When the thrombus breaks free of the valve, it is called an embolus, and travels toward the heart and lungs. The animation ends by showing the embolus lodging in the lung tissue forming a life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE).

my dad died on christmas day, because of a pulmonary embolism, the thrombosis was stuck on the splitting section of the pulmonary artery, everything went well in the hospital, but then a phonecall came that he had died because his heart stopped beating when he was walking back to his hospital bed. We still dont know why his heart stopped beating, maybe the thrombosis got loose or something. We're still waiting for the results of the autopsy

@scapy1993 I am truly sorry for your loss. Did the autopsy report reveal anything about the cause?

My dad passed away due to a PE and I was only 15 at the time so I was unsure of what it was but seeing as my mom's a nurse she explained to me ... my dad had injured his ankle whilst on a walk and he didnt really move for a few days which caused the clot in his leg... I woke up in the summer holidays to find my dad collapsed in the hallway his face purrple and his breathing was laboured, we called the ambulance and they performed cpr but dad passed away inside the ambulance :( R.I.P daddy <3

@POURUSH59 Clot means a thick mass of blood ,, like u get on an untreated wound

I was immobilized recently by a PE, hospitalized for 11 days, and my life has been changed forever!  Glad to be back home, one must be very careful about this situation! ;-)
