    Pulmonary embolism is the most serious complication of venous thrombosis, which occurs when a blood clot breaks off from a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the leg and travels to the lungs, blocking blood flow and potentially causing death. Deep vein thrombosis is the most common type of venous thrombosis event (VTE) and predominantly affects the large veins in the leg, with pulmonary embolism and post-thrombotic syndrome being its two main complications.
