Medical Conditions - Thrombosis

Thrombosis is the process of formation of hard mass in circulation from the constituents of flowing blood; the mass itself is called a thrombus. When a thrombus develops in an artery, such as in the brain or heart, it is called arterial thrombosis; if it is formed in the veins, it is named venous thrombosis. The occurrence of a thrombus in the deep veins of the leg is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
