Angioprim will not cause a blood clot and is compatible with clotting medication. Generally blood clots form when the blood is exposed to air. A scab is an external blood clot and an internal blood clot is a bruise, or black and blue mark. Some clots can be extremely dangerous. A blood clot that forms inside of a blood vessel can be deadly because it blocks the flow of blood, cutting off the supply of oxygen. A stroke can be the result of a clot in an artery of the brain.

All of the surgeons incorporate preventative measures to decrease the likelihood of developing a clot. This does not mean that you cannot develop a clot.

In my view the discrepancy occurred because two-thirds of the women in the WHI study did not start taking the estrogen until after age 60. Pre-menopausal women nonsmokers rarely have fatal heart attacks. When estrogen (estradiol) production by the ovaries ceases between ages 45 and 55 (menopause) heart attacks in women (but not men) rise precipitously; equaling the rate in men by age 60 and surpassing men by age 65.

Thrombophlebitis, sometimes called Deep Venous Thrombosis(DVT), can occur after any operation, but is more likely to occur following surgery on the hip, pelvis, or knee.

The sooner you move around the less chance you have to develop a clot.
