Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potentially deadly condition in which a blood clot (known as a deep vein thrombosis [DVT]) forms in the deep veins of the leg, groin or arm and may dislodge. If that happens, the clot can travel via the bloodstream to lodge in the lungs and cause tissue damage or death from reduced oxygen (a condition called pulmonary embolism [PE]).
