| deep vein thrombosis | Blood clotting in the veins of the inner thigh or leg. In air travel, DVT is the economy-class syndrome.

Blood clots can break off (as an embolism) and makes its way to the luhg where it has the potential of causing respiratory distress and respiratory failure. (12 Dec 1998) |
