Maybe: Deep-vein thrombosis usually one-time event caused by an injury or a temporary change in the blood's capacity for clotting. For others, it becomes a long-term health problem.Having one deep-vein thrombosis means at increased risk for another. About one-third of people who have a deep-vein thrombosis have another within 10 years.Maybe same vein if injured by previous thrombotic event.

Yes/no: There are 2 kinds of blood clots-superficial and deep. Superficial occurs in veins under the skin and can recur in the same veins. Deep clots(dvt) usually occurs in different veins because once a clot forms in the vein, the vein is usually scarred and narrowed so it doesn't tend to reclot, although it can. Usually with recurrent dvt, the new clot tends to occur in different veins.
