Answer 1

A main verb (simple predicate) can have more than one word, yes.

You've got the simple predicate right, but not the subject. Ask yourself: Who or what "was treated..."?

Answer 2

In my lessons it explains - find the simple predicate first.
'was treated'
yes ask yourself the question
Who or What was treated-

ANSWER: venous thrombosis
I believe you can leave out the word deep - ? that would be an adjective describing the above?

Answer 3

Right.

Are there other types of thrombosis? If there are, then keep venous. If not, then venous is an adjective, too.

found that besides venous thrombosis there is also deep vein thrombosis-

Answer: keep the word venous
