Dr. Karthik Mikkineni on recognizing and preventing life-threatening blood clots

Dr. Karthik Mikkineni highlights the silent threat of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Deccan Chronicle | 20th August 2025

Deccan Chronicle features Dr. Karthik Mikkineni, co-founder of RIVEA Vascular Institute, in an article on the hidden dangers of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in the deep veins, most often in the legs. If left untreated, the clot can travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism.

Often mistaken for simple swelling or leg pain, DVT can quietly progress to life-threatening complications. Dr. Mikkineni stresses the importance of awareness, early diagnosis, and preventive steps to stop clots before they stop lives.
