About Thrombosis

Thrombosis is not a procedure but a medical condition where a blood clot (thrombus) forms inside a blood vessel, obstructing blood flow. In vascular surgery, the treatment for thrombosis involves procedures to remove or bypass the clot to restore circulation. Common surgical interventions include thrombectomy (surgical removal of the clot) or bypass grafting to create a new pathway for blood. These are critical, often urgent, procedures to prevent severe complications like tissue death (gangrene), stroke, or pulmonary embolism. Vascular surgeons use advanced techniques, including minimally invasive endovascular methods, to treat thrombosis effectively, aiming to preserve limb and organ function.

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.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 2-5 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 2-6 weeks
