Information regarding public knowledge about thrombosis in a broad sense and specifically venous thromboembolism (VTE) is not widely available. This review aims at understanding the true picture of venous thromboembolism prevalence among the Indian population over the last two decades. Although a majority of research studies had identified the occurrence of venous thromboembolism among Orthopaedic patients, it was not a rarity in neurosurgery, urology, burns, gynaecology, and critical care patients. The history of long travelling /flying had also proved a significant causative factor. Healthcare professionals should be alert to this hospital never event and follow best practice treatment algorithms based on international guidelines. Public awareness through social media should also be created to understand venous thromboembolism which can be fatal at times.

Introduction: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a medical condition leading to pulmonary embolism in most cases. DVT occurs usually in lower limb venous system. Studies in India found that DVT is as prevalent as it exists in the West. Anticoagulation is the common treatment modality. This paper presents a case of DVT of a 42 years old male patient who was successfully healed using Yoga Prana vidya (YPV) healing protocols as complementary medicine.Method: This is a case study method going through patient's medical reports, YPV healer's records and patient feedback. YPV intervention consisted of self-practice modules of physical exercises, Rhythmic Yogic breathing and Forgiveness Sadhana. Additionally, the YPV healer conducted healing sessions.Results: Within 5 weeks of healing, all symptoms of DVT disappeared. The patient was able to recover from fear of the disease completely. The patient continued practicing Rhythmic Yogic Breathing and Forgiveness Sadhana regularly to maintain wellness with self-care. He resumed working from office as usual. Conclusion:Yoga Prana Vidya System is an integrated and versatile system of treatment and healing which has treated the DVT condition as a complementary medicine with speedy recovery in this case. Further research is recommended using appropriate sample and methodology. It will be beneficial to train the frontline health care workers such as doctors and nurses in the application of YPV techniques as complementary to their individual specialties.
