    Author: Bhatia V, Arora P, Parida AK, Singh G, Kaul U.
    Journal: Indian Heart J; 2008; 60(6):608-11. PubMed ID: 19276509.
    Abstract:
    Air travel is implicated as a predisposing factor for thromboembolism, which at times can have catastrophic consequences. We present 3 cases who developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) after transatlantic air travel. The relevant literature is discussed.
