Identifies the root cause of unexplained or recurrent blood clots.Guides personalized, long-term treatment plans to prevent future thrombotic events.Helps assess risk for family members, as many causes are hereditary.Can be crucial for managing high-risk situations like pregnancy, surgery, or prolonged immobility.Involves a non-invasive diagnostic workup primarily based on blood tests.
Who is this surgery for?
- Unexplained blood clot (venous thromboembolism - VTE) in a vein, such as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or Pulmonary Embolism (PE).
- Recurrent episodes of thrombosis without a clear cause.
- Thrombosis at an unusual site (e.g., abdominal veins, brain).
- Thrombosis at a young age (typically under 50).
- Strong family history of blood clots or thrombophilia.
- Recurrent pregnancy loss or severe pregnancy complications like preeclampsia.
- Blood clot while on anticoagulant therapy.
How to prepare
- Consultation with an Internal Medicine specialist to discuss personal and family history.
- Disclosure of all current medications, especially blood thinners, which may need to be paused temporarily for accurate testing.
- Fasting may be required for 8-12 hours before blood draw for some tests.
- Timing of tests is critical; they should not be performed during an active clotting event or while on therapeutic anticoagulation, as results can be misleading.
- No major physical preparation is needed, as it is primarily a diagnostic evaluation.
Risks & possible complications
- The primary risks are associated with the blood draw itself: minor pain, bruising, or infection at the puncture site.
- There is a risk of false-positive or false-negative test results, which requires careful interpretation by a specialist.
- If anticoagulation therapy is initiated based on findings, it carries risks of bleeding.
- Potential psychological impact or anxiety from learning about a hereditary condition.
- Possible implications for life insurance or future medical underwriting.
Recovery & hospital stay
- There is no physical recovery period from the diagnostic testing itself.
- Post-blood draw, apply pressure to the site and a bandage; avoid heavy lifting with that arm for a few hours.
- The key recovery and management phase involves following the treatment plan developed from the results.
- This often includes starting and monitoring anticoagulant medication, requiring regular blood tests (like INR for warfarin).
- Lifestyle modifications, such as staying hydrated, moving regularly during travel, and wearing compression stockings if advised, become part of long-term care.
- Regular follow-up appointments with the Internal Medicine specialist are essential to monitor therapy and adjust as needed.

Arjun Sharma, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Arjun Sharma, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been healthy. His life changed when he developed a painful, swollen left calf after a long-haul flight from Delhi to San Francisco. Initially dismissed as a muscle cramp, the swelling worsened. A week later, he experienced sudden chest pain and shortness of breath. At the ER, a CT scan revealed a pulmonary embolism (PE). Given his young age and no obvious risk factors, his internist, Dr. Chen, recommended testing for a Hypercoagulable State. Arjun was terrified, worrying about his ability to support his family. The testing involved a simple blood draw, which was straightforward. Results confirmed he had Factor V Leiden, a genetic clotting disorder. He was started on long-term anticoagulant medication. The diagnosis, while life-altering, provided immense relief. He now understood the cause and could manage it. His emotional journey shifted from fear and uncertainty to a sense of control and proactive vigilance, allowing him to safely travel and play with his kids again.
