Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major public health problem due to its frequency and potentially serious complications. In aviation, DVT is a serious vascular condition leading to sudden or subtle incapacitation, such as pulmonary embolism, which can compromise flight safety. This paper study examines the aeromedical considerations of bilateral DVT through the case of a 37-year-old cabin crew member with no medical history. It highlights occupational risks in aviation and the importance of early diagnosis in preventing severe complications. In addition, we will look at the aeromedical regulatory standards and the requirements for aeromedical certification in DVT situations, and analyzing how different aviation authorities assess and manage the fitness of affected aircrew members.
