Patients who experience shortness of breath and a cramping pain in their legs may have deep vein thrombosis, or DVT. The condition is dangerous because the clots can migrate up to the lungs and become life-threatening. Physicians at The George Washington University Hospital Cardiovascular Center can perform non-surgical thrombectomy, essentially vacuuming out the blood clots and restoring blood flow to the veins. The Hillman radio spot was part of a broader radio campaign for The Cardiovascular Center.
