A member asked:
Could post thrombotic syndrome increase your risk of another dvt blood clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Having one episode of DVT does make you at higher risk to have another dvt. Many people need ongoing anticoagulation for incidences of severe dvt. Consult with your vascular doctor or gp for your individual case.
