Blood clots in a calf vein ( thrombophlebitis) occurs when a vein is damaged or when blood stagnates in the vein due to inadequate mobilization such as occurs on a long automobile trip. or with prolonged bed rest. The lower leg,ankle or foot may be swollen. The calf is usually tender on compressing it. Clots may break off and travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) which can be fatal.

The condition is called DVT or deep venous thrombosois and clevelandclinic. org or mayoclinic.org among others have reliable information regarding this condition.
