AB  - Venous  thromboembolism  (VTE)  is  a  common  and  deadly  disease  that  includes  deep  vein  thrombosis  (DVT)  and  pulmonary  embolism  (PE).  DVT  occurs  when  blood  coagulates  inside  a  deep  vein—usually  in  the  leg,  but  occasionally  in  the  arm  or  proximal  vein.  PE  occurs  when  a  portion  of  a  clot  breaks  off  and  travels  to  a  pulmonary  artery.  The  clinical  presentation  of  VTE  is  highly  variable,  thus  clinicians  must  maintain  a  high  index  of  suspicion.
