A member asked:
Is basilic vein blood clot, below the elbow, superficial or deep? i keep seeing conflicting reports. i have appointment with a vein specialist but it is a month away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your Dr.: The Basilic Vein travels both in superficial and deep tissues. The specific location of the blood clot will determine whether is is a deep vein thrombosis or a superficial vein thrombosis. DVT is an emergent situation and will be treated immediately. SVT is not emergent and can be treated a month later or more. Talk to your Dr for specifics on your imaging results or other diagnostic tests.
