Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) – Treatment
Veins are blood vessels which carry back blood from body parts to the heart. Then this blood goes to lungs for oxygenation. Veins are of two types – Superficial veins (near skin) and Deep veins (situated deep inside near bones). Formation of blood clots in deep vein is called as Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT). It leads to sudden leg swelling & pain.
Sometime blood clots in leg can break off and travel to lung, this result in blockage to lung blood supply, called Pulmonary Embolism (PE) / Lung Attack. Like heart attacks its emergency and if not treated promptly, patient may lose life.
We offer 5 modalities of treatment for DVT and PE
1. Medical management- Anticoagulation (blood thinning injections)
2. Catheter Directed Thrombolysis (CDT) – with just needle puncture in leg, catheter (tube) is passed in blood clot and clot dissolving medicine is delivered directly inside clot.
3. Penumbra /Angiojet pharmaco-mechanical thrombectomy- With a single needle puncture, special catheter (tube) is passed in vein, clot are broken and sucked out.
4. IVC Filter- it is a metal filter placed inside main abdominal vein (IVC) to prevent blood clot from travelling to lungs (Pulmonary Embolism).
5. Compression therapy- Specialized compression stockings (socks)
