Thrombosis of the deep veins (DVT) A clot in a deep vein, commonly in the leg, is known as a deep vein thrombosis. DVT can occur in the arm or other veins. A pulmonary embolism happens when a DVT clot breaks loose from a vein wall and travels to the lungs, where it stops some or all of the blood supply. Blood clots that start in the thigh are more likely than those that start in the lower leg or elsewhere in the body to break off and move to the lungs.
