I hope I have other things in commmon with Poly, so that won't be an
issue. Besides there are quite a lot of kilometers between us.

Deep vein thrombosis is clotting of blood within the deep veins of the
leg. One of the causes for this condition is slow blood flow due to long
periods of immobility. Thus, travelling long distances by air plane may be
complicated by DVT, but the risk is small in an otherwise healthy person
(but probably significantly higher than thje risk of dying in a plane
crash). A serious (serios?) complication of DVT is pulmonary embolism,
where fragments of the clot is transported to the lungs and getting stuck
there.
The condition is easily treated with clot inhibiting drugs.
If you can't see the clots on ultrasound, the next step in diagnosis is to
perform a venography where x-ray contrast is injected into the veins of
the leg while taking x-ray pictures.
When I was training to become a radiologist, these were my favourite
diagnostic procedures.
If you're still aroused, I'll se if I can direct you to some images.
