Blood clots form when platelets (blood components) and plasma proteins thicken, forming a semisolid mass. This process may be triggered by an injury or it can sometimes occur inside blood vessels that don't have an obvious injury. Once these clots form, they can travel to other parts of your body, causing harm. Factors and conditions that can cause troublesome blood clots, as well as serious conditions that are associated with blood clots, include: Antiphospholipid syndrome Arteriosclerosis / atherosclerosis Certain medications, such as oral contraceptives and hormone therapy drugs Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) Factor V Leiden Family history of blood clots Heart arrhythmias (heart rhythm problems) Heart attack Heart failure Obesity Peripheral artery disease Polycythemia vera Pregnancy Prolonged sitting or bed rest Pulmonary embolism (blood clot in an artery in the lung) Smoking Stroke Surgery Buerger's disease Essential thrombocythemia Mitral valve stenosis
