Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The persistent blood clot in the leg takes 3-4 weeks to resolve. Since a screen has been put already, it is not likely to spread on its own. You are getting the right treatment. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
