Can a detached deep venous thrombosis in the lower extremities easily cause embolism?

Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis Embolization

1. The detachment of a deep venous thrombosis in the lower extremities generally tends to embolize in the pulmonary artery.

2. After detachment, the thrombus formed in the lower extremity veins usually returns to the right atrium through the bloodstream, then circulates back (note: there's a repetition in the original text, "然后从右心房流回右心房" should be corrected to reflect the normal circulatory path), and distributes to the lungs with the blood from the right atrium, commonly embolizing in the pulmonary artery. If patients experience this, they should immediately undergo detailed examination in a hospital and receive treatment.

3. The detachment of a deep venous thrombosis in the lower extremities is usually caused by factors such as abnormal coagulation factors or poor venous return in the lower extremities. When the thrombus detaches, it often leads to symptoms such as lung pain and dyspnea, generally requiring surgical treatment for the thrombosis.

4. After surgery, patients must properly manage their personal care, maintain local wound cleanliness, and promptly disinfect and dress the wound. Meanwhile, they should adopt a light diet in daily life, consume appropriate amounts of fruits and vegetables such as kiwi, apples, potatoes, and cucumbers, and eat less greasy food like barbecue and fried chicken, as well as spicy food.
