It’s important to receive treatment for DVT as soon as possible. The blood clots in your veins may break loose, travel through your bloodstream, and get lodged in the lungs. It can block blood flow in your lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal. When DVT and a pulmonary embolism occur together, it’s known as venous thromboembolism. Left untreated, DVT can lead to fatal health problems.
