Treatment for Deep Vein Thrombosis

The typical treatment is anticoagulation or blood thinner medication along with compression stockings. Acute DVT (within 14 days) is best treated with endovascular treatment. The IVC filter is initially implanted to avoid pulmonary thromboembolism. Blood clots are then aspirated using a catheter, and medicine (thrombolytic) is injected locally via a catheter to dissolve the clots. The entire process is carried out through a tiny hole with no cuts or sutures. The patient is able to leave the hospital the next day.

​Before and after the surgery, the patient must fast for 6 hours prior to the surgery. The patient should wear compression stockings after the surgery. These aid in the reduction of edoema. Leg elevation should be achieved by placing pillows beneath the patient’s legs while sleeping. Anticoagulants (blood thinners) must be used for a period of six months. Every day, the patient is required to walk for at least one hour.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Question

DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) is a dangerous disorder caused by blood clots forming in the veins of the limbs or extremities (arms and legs). Blood clots form in the veins when the blood thickens and clumps together. DVT is a cause for concern because it can lead to a life-threatening pulmonary embolism complication. A blood clot breaks loose from these deep veins in a pulmonary embolism, travels to the lungs, and stops an artery. Venous thromboembolism is a term that refers to both of these conditions.​

Some other names used to refer to DVT are:

  • blood clot in the leg
  • venous thrombosis

Although DVT is more common in adults over 50, it can develop at any age in certain situations. DVT is usually caused by immobility in the context of any underlying risk factors.
