Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Some of the common treatment facilities employed for patients suffering from deep vein thrombosis are:

• Using blood thinners: Deep vein thrombosis treatment most commonly used anticoagulants (blood thinners) that reduce blood clots. They don’t break or dissolve existing clots, but prevent the clots from increasing in size and reduce the chances of developing more clots.
• Clot busters: Thrombolytics or clot busters are drugs to break up blood clots. They are given through an IV line or a catheter placed in the clot directly. They are used in severe cases only.
• Filters: When a patient cannot take medicines to prevent the blood from clotting, then the doctors might fit a filter into the vena cava. This filter prevents the broken clots from entering the lungs.
• Compression stockings: These stockings are worn to encourage blood flow to the affected area and it helps prevent swelling associated with deep vein thrombosis.
• Surgery: Open thrombectomy is the surgery that is performed to remove deep vein clot when the condition doesn’t respond to any medication or non-surgical treatments. Open thrombectomy is occasionally recommended to remove a deep vein clot.
