Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can lead to pulmonary embolism (PE), which is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication. Preventative measures such as anticoagulant therapy, compression stockings, and early ambulation can help decrease the risk of PE. Myocardial infarction (A), renal failure (B), and pneumonia (D) are not typically associated with DVT.
