Can there be any connection between the deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism?

Yes: Deep vein thrombosis in the iliac, femoral and popliteal venous system of the legs are the most common site of formation of blood clot. When pieces or entire bulk of clot dislodges from the leg deep vein, it travels from there through the vena cava to the right side of the heart. From the right atrium, the right ventricle pumps it out the the pulmonary artery and one now has a pulmonary embolus.

Absolutely: Most of the thrombi( clots) that go to lung- pulmonary, originate in pelvic or leg veins as dvt.

Yes very much: They are highly connected. A deep vein thrombosis [ dvt] is clot in the deep tissue usually the legs. If part of the clot breaks off it will travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. [ pe]. To put it another way : pe's pulmonary emboli come from broken off parts of dvts.

Absolutely: When a person gets a deep venous thrombosis (dvt), part of the thrombus (blood clot) can break off and travel to the lungs. This is what we call a pulmonary embolism (pe). Although it has been shown that it is possible to form a pe without having a DVT first, it is felt that this is a very uncommon occurrence. Far more commonly, a pe will start out as a DVT in one or both legs.

Yes: Thrombus (clot) within the deep veins of the legs, arms, and pelvis may travel to the pulmonary arteries in the lungs and cause pulmonary embolism.
