Itโ€™s #WorldThrombosisDay. I woke up with a DVT one morning in 2019 and discovered I have May-Thurner syndrome, an anatomical anomaly that compresses the iliac vein. A stent was inserted to correct the anomaly. Hereโ€™s my #SciArt #embroidery of that experience: deep dilation (2025)

Thrombosis (blood clots) can block veins or arteries and lead to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, or stroke. Many risk factors are common and modifiable โ€” prolonged immobility, recent surgery, cancer, hormone therapy, obesity, smoking, and unmanaged chronic diseases โ€” so early recognition (leg swelling/pain, sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, sudden weakness or speech changes) and timely medical assessment save lives.

Take simple steps to reduce risk: stay active and hydrate during long travel, maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, control diabetes and heart disease, use compression stockings when advised, and follow anticoagulant instructions carefully. Share this message so more people know the signs and preventive actions โ€” from head to toe, take control.

Let's raise awareness about thrombosis and its impact on global health. Did you know that 1 in 4 people die from conditions caused by thrombosis?

๐Ÿฉธ It's crucial to understand the risks and take action. Healthcare professionals and patients alike can make a difference by being informed and proactive.

๐Ÿ’กRemember, knowledge is power! Together, we can reduce the burden of thrombotic events.

A bit morbid to see a clot depicted, but this is very skilled and artistic! (and I had no idea it was #WorldThrombosisDay !) #SciArt ๐Ÿฉบ

Itโ€™s #WorldThrombosisDay. I woke up with a DVT one morning in 2019 and discovered I have May-Thurner syndrome, an anatomical anomaly that compresses the iliac vein. Hereโ€™s my current #embroidery WIP of that experience. It will eventually have my stent included. #SciArt
