Man who nearly died from blood clot launches preventative device

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Paul Westerman was just 44 when he developed the blood clot that almost killed him after suffering a knee injury while playing tennis.

Eight days after he fell, part of the clot — which had formed in a vein in his calf — travelled to his heart and lungs, with catastrophic results.
