❤️ A blood clot diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and many patients aren’t sure what comes next. To support patients and families, we created our New Patient Guide — a practical handbook for people newly diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). The guide helps patients and caregivers understand the diagnosis, answer common questions, and find trusted resources for navigating life after a blood clot. ⭐ New: Hard copies are now

A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a vein, usually in the leg, and the first line treatments are blood thinners or clot busting medications. But some people are not able to take those medications. If so, they may have a filter placed to prevent the clot from breaking off and traveling to the lungs. Dr. Erica Knavel Koepsel, a Mayo Clinic interventional radiologist, explains why the filters may not be the best choice for some people. https://mayocl.in/2SjCmPG | Mayo Clinic
