When is it needed?
- Sudden painful swelling of one leg
- Leg redness and warmth
- Breathlessness or chest pain with leg swelling (urgent)
- After long bed rest, surgery, delivery or long travel
How we treat it at Aarogyavaram
- Colour Doppler ultrasound of the leg to confirm the clot
- Blood thinners
- Clot-dissolving medicine given straight into a large clot through a thin tube (catheter-directed thrombolysis)
- A small filter in the main vein (IVC filter) to stop clots reaching the lungs, when blood thinners cannot be used
Recovery & what to expect
Blood thinners continue for months as advised. Compression stockings and early walking help recovery.
