Sequelae of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis commonly include lower extremity post-deep vein thrombosis syndrome and pulmonary embolism, which are mostly caused by the destruction of venous valves and thrombus dislodgement after lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.
1. Post-thrombosis syndrome of lower extremity deep vein: this kind of disease occurs mainly because after the occurrence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, the blood flow in deep vein is blocked, and the intravascular venous valves are destroyed, which leads to the high pressure of blood in deep vein of the lower leg.
In the clinical manifestations, patients often feel heavy lower limbs, standing for a long time or symptoms worsened after activities, the affected limbs are distended and swollen, accompanied by intermittent claudication, skin pigmentation, the formation of chronic ulcers that can recur.
2. Pulmonary embolism: pulmonary embolism is the most serious complication after lower extremity DVT, mostly due to thrombus dislodgement with blood into the lungs, triggered by vascular blockage, such sequelae, the larger thrombus blockage can often lead to sudden death, the need for timely treatment.
If you feel unwell, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time for regular treatment.
