My dear colleague, it is very well recognized that clotting in deep veins of leg/s and lungs are common occurence in patients undergoing major surgery,prolonged stay in the bed with/ without immobiizlation due to clotting control mechanisms derailed locally and systemically too . Although we cover the post operation and during operation with blood thinning drugs fearing this complication, there are reports to suggest that in renal transplants do not benefit much with these precautionary methods and such picture is perhaps possible in your aunt also. As far as the CMV being treated for lung habitation,this is also common phenamenon in persons with low immunity and by the age of 40 years. No doubt doctors struggle along with patients in such complexities of disease. Wish all Best in their efforts on Doctor's Day
