A member asked:
Clotting in lungs now spread to legs, can it be stopped?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be treated: And it is probably the other way around -- clot in the legs has spread (or embolized) to the lungs. This can be treated with blood thinners and occasionally a small filter placed in the inferior vena cava.
