DVT, or Deep Vein Thrombosis, is a blood clot that may partially or completely block blood flow through a vein. We use a sonogram to evaluate the blood flow in the veins in order to detect the presence and specific location of the clot. The chosen course of treatment may include medications, compression stockings, and elevation of the affected leg in order to prevent the clot from increasing in size and potentially moving to your lungs.

Warning Signs of DVT
- Sudden swelling in one leg
- Calf or thigh pain or cramping
- Warmth and redness over the affected area
- Skin discoloration (red or bluish)
- Heaviness or tightness in the leg
- Shortness of breath or chest pain (medical emergency — call 911)
How DVT Is Diagnosed
Our board-certified vascular surgeons perform in-office venous duplex ultrasound — the gold standard for diagnosing DVT. The non-invasive scan evaluates blood flow in real time to identify the clot's exact location and severity.
DVT Treatment Options
- Anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications
- Medical-grade compression therapy
- Leg elevation guidance and activity protocols
- Ongoing surveillance ultrasounds
- Referral for advanced intervention if needed
When to Seek Immediate Care
If you experience sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing up blood, or light-headedness, this could indicate a pulmonary embolism — call 911 immediately.
