Deep Vein Thrombosis Expert Witnesses

A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) develops from a blood clot forming in the deep veins of the limbs. The blood clot most commonly develops in the lower limb veins where there is decreased or altered blood flow for example, following a long flight or from of a leg fracture. The blood clot may embolise to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolus, or to the brain, leading to a stroke.
