Is it likely that you will die from a blood clot in the legs?

No: Although there is always a risk that blood clots that form in the legs will break off and travel to the lungs, this is uncommon and even when it happens, it is unlikely to cause death.

Yes: Blot clot can kill if it lodges in artery feeding heart or brain.

Not likely: Fortunately, it is not at all likely, as dr. Hermann said, unless some of the clot breaks off and travels.
