Deep vein thrombosis: Condition in which blood solidifies, producing blood clot (thrombus) within deep venous system, typically in lower limbs
Can also be seen in upper limbs (especially related to central venous catheters)
Pulmonary embolism (PE): Obstruction of pulmonary artery or 1 of its branches by embolus, usually blood clot derived from leg vein thrombosis
Venous thromboembolic disease (VTED): Combined deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
