Even
if blood clots don’t embolise, a deep vein thrombosis
can result in a number of circulation problems. These circulation
problems are usually localised and develop where the blot
clot forms.
The damage caused by blood clot formation can result in
high blood pressure in the surrounding area, a condition
known as “venous hypertension”.
Localised circulation problems can lead to chronic venous
insufficiency. This occurs if the veins cannot effectively
return blood from the legs to the heart. Backed-up blood
leaks out of the veins and pools in the legs and feet.
