| | Britt had a CT of her lungs Tuesday that revealed she has an old (meaning not acute) pulmonary embolism (blood clot) in one of the smaller arteries in her left lower lobe. It was not there 8 weeks ago on a prior CT. Anyone else had this sort of complication or blood clots in any vessel? |

| Yes, I have total occlusion of a vessel in my right arm that goes toward my heart from chronic DVT associated with my LM. My LM doctors have explained they believe the LM likes to deplete platelets in order to create clots within the malformation.
I have a Lymphangioma diagnosis or difused Lymphatic Malformation depending on the doctor you talk to.
Take Care!

| FYI- In a recent visit to LM doctor I was told I was at a high risk for pulmonary embolisim because of this condition because my blood likes to clot.
