Thrombosis Treatment in India
About Thrombosis
Key Highlights
-
Restores blood flow to critical organs and limbs, preventing tissue damage.Can be performed using minimally invasive (endovascular) techniques for faster recovery.Reduces the risk of life-threatening complications like pulmonary embolism or stroke.Helps alleviate symptoms such as pain, swelling, and discoloration.Performed by specialized vascular surgeons with expertise in complex circulatory system disorders.
Who is this surgery for?
- Acute limb ischemia (sudden loss of blood flow to an arm or leg).
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) that is extensive, symptomatic, or not responding to medication.
- Pulmonary embolism with a large, accessible source clot.
- Arterial thrombosis causing critical blockages in limbs or organs.
- Clots in dialysis access grafts or fistulas.
- Phlegmasia cerulea dolens, a severe form of DVT causing limb threat.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive diagnostic imaging (e.g., ultrasound, CT angiography, venogram) to locate the clot.
- Blood tests to assess clotting function and overall health.
- Review and possible adjustment of current medications, especially blood thinners.
- Fasting for several hours before the procedure if general anesthesia is planned.
- Discussion of the surgical plan, risks, and anesthesia options with the vascular surgeon.
- Informed consent process.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding or hematoma at the surgical or catheter access site.
- Infection.
- Damage to the blood vessel or surrounding nerves.
- Re-thrombosis (the clot reforming).
- Allergic reaction to contrast dye used in imaging.
- Kidney injury from contrast dye.
- Risks associated with anesthesia.
- Distal embolism (clot fragments traveling to smaller vessels).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial monitoring in a recovery area for vital signs and circulation checks.
- Pain management with prescribed medications.
- Early mobilization as advised to promote circulation and prevent new clots.
- Compression stockings may be recommended for venous thrombosis.
- Strict adherence to prescribed anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medication.
- Follow-up appointments for wound checks and imaging to ensure clot resolution.
- Gradual return to normal activities, avoiding strenuous exercise initially.
- Watch for signs of complications like increased pain, swelling, redness, or shortness of breath.

Pooja Garcia, a 35-year-old marketing executive,...
Pooja Garcia, a 35-year-old marketing executive, was diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome after her first pregnancy. Despite being on prophylactic blood thinners during her second pregnancy, she developed a massive, painful swelling in her entire left leg two weeks postpartum. An ultrasound and CT scan showed an extensive iliofemoral DVT compressing her left iliac vein. The vascular surgeon, Dr. Patel, explained that due to the clot's size and location, she needed a combination of pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (to physically remove the clot) and a stent placement in the iliac vein to keep it open. Pooja was overwhelmed, struggling to care for her newborn while in severe pain and fearing for her future mobility. The procedure was successful, immediately relieving the pressure and pain. Recovery involved two nights in the hospital and a transition to long-term blood thinners. Within a month, the leg swelling was nearly gone. Emotionally, she transitioned from postpartum joy mixed with acute physical suffering and anxiety to feeling like herself again, able to care for her children without debilitating pain. The experience forged a deep sense of resilience and advocacy for her own health.
