Blood Clots in Unexpected Places: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Prevention (2026)

Uncover the Surprising Locations of Blood Clots: A PEP Talk for Awareness and Action

Blood clots can strike anywhere, even in the most unexpected places. Beyond the well-known risks to the legs and lungs, these silent killers can also form in less common areas of the body, leading to delayed treatment, confusing symptoms, and serious complications if not recognized early.

In this PEP Talk, expert guest Dr. Stephan Moll of UNC will guide you through:

  • The most common (yet uncommon) clot locations you should know about
  • Symptoms that are frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked
  • When to push for imaging and which tests are needed
  • Risk factors that raise your chances of an atypical clot
  • How to advocate for yourself when something "doesn’t feel right"

This session will empower you to understand the warning signs of unusual clots, ask the right questions, and feel more confident navigating the diagnostic process, even when symptoms don’t fit the typical picture.

But here's where it gets controversial... Are you prepared to challenge conventional wisdom and advocate for yourself when it comes to blood clot awareness?
