This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Procedural related complications are influenced by the 'type of surgery, patients pre-existing comorbid state, and perioperative management.' deep vein thrombosis, or dvt, occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins of the body.This can happen if a vein becomes damaged or if the blood flow within a vein slows down or stops.Total joint patients are typically placed on medication post-operative for a period of time to prevent the development of dvt / blood clot.Even with the administration of preventive medication, dvt / blood clots can still develop.As the complaint indicated a post-operative complication developed and it can be implied medical intervention was required to treat the complication, therefore our complaint category, medical: procedure related would be appropriate.
