| | Venous Thrombosis |
 | | Both venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are often silent and difficult to detect by clinical examination. | | | All elective orthopedic surgical patients undergoing lower extremity surgery are at risk for deep venous thrombosis. | | | The largest pool of data has been obtained in studies of patients over the age of 40 undergoing general surgical procedures, where the average incidence of deep venous thrombosis in control patients is 25 percent by fibrinogen scanning and 19 percent by venography. |

| | This means that the risk of having a venous thrombosis is twice that of someone without the condition. | | | However this risk is relatively low and most individuals with the condition are not affected. | | | Individuals with Prothrombin 20210 should also seek medical advice before major surgery, or when they are likely to be immobile for a long period, as this increases the risk of venous thrombosis. |

| | Thrombosis |
| | A blood clot, or fragments of a blood clot, can also be swept into general circulation and lodge in a distant blood vessel (embolism); if heart, brain, or lungs are affected the result will be a Heart attack, a Stroke, or pulmonary embolism. | | | As thrombus enlarges, blood flow through affected channel decreases and may be blocked altogether; if an artery in the heart or brain is affected, result will be coronary thrombosis or a Stroke. | | | Thrombosis is conventionally treated with anticoagulants, which dissolve clots. |

| | Thrombosis is the formation of a clot or thrombus inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. | | | The formation of a thrombus is usually caused by an injury to the vessel's wall, either by trauma or infection, and by the slowing or stagnation of blood flow past the point of injury. | | | Thromboembolism is a general term describing both thrombosis and its main complication: dislodgement of a clot and embolisation. |
