DVT is a serious condition involving blood clots in the legs. Sometimes, these clots can break away and travel through the bloodstream to vital organs of the body. In the lungs, a clot can cause pulmonary embolism (PE). Prolonged physical immobility, such as sitting for an extended period, is considered in the medical community to be a risk factor associated with DVT. DVT in theory could arise in any setting where a person is immobile for an extended period -- including, for example, while seated at home or in an office, when watching a movie, or when riding in an automobile or airplane. Repeated episodes of prolonged physical immobility may increase the risk.
