A doctor has provided 1 answer

Caution: Splinter hemorrhages does not come from dvt. They come from clots being thrown to the periphery and going through the small arteries that can happen in infection of heart valves or in vasculitis. It is better to see your doctor to give the proper names, and diagnosis and work up if necessary.
