The well-known actress and Hollywood diva Zsa Zsa Gabor had to be admitted to hospital again. The now 91-year-old had to be spent according to doctors by a blood clot in one of her legs in a clinic in Los Angeles. Previously, the actress had pain and swelling in one of her legs. Gabor is currently receiving anticoagulant drugs to stop the blood clot.

Husband Frederic Prinz von Anhalt has said, according to media reports, his wife has very severe pain and swollen legs. Gabor had only fallen out of bed in July of this year. The diva then had to use a new hip as the hipbone was broken. Even then, the suffering had no end. After the release, the actress had to spend several days in a clinic again. Her husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, suffered a feeble-heat due to the exertions and worries of the summer of 2010 and had to be medically treated for a few days.

A vein thrombosis causes painful swelling in patients and can lead to lifelong secondary damage. If a blood clot is not detected in time, part of the blood clot can enter the lungs via the bloodstream and heart, causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Around 40,000 patients die each year in Germany alone from a dangerous pulmonary embolism. In order to stop the blood clot, the administration of medication is aimed at inhibiting blood clotting. To prevent a thrombosis, an active movement is the most sensible prevention. (Sb)
