DVT Surgery: Effective Solutions for Severe Cases

DVT surgery involves medical procedures aimed at treating blood clots that form in the deep veins, typically in the legs. Surgical treatment is considered when non-invasive therapies (like medications or compression stockings) fail to manage the condition or when the risk of complications is high. Here are the most common surgical options:
  • Thrombectomy This is a surgical procedure where the clot is physically removed from the vein. It's used when the clot causes significant obstruction or poses a risk of embolism. Techniques like catheter-directed thrombolysis may be used to break down the clot using medication, or mechanical thrombectomy tools (rotating wires, suction, or ultrasound-assisted devices) may be applied to remove the clot.
  • Vena Cava Filter Placement For patients at high risk of clots traveling to the lungs, a vena cava filter can be placed in the large abdominal vein (inferior vena cava). This filter catches clots before they can reach vital organs, particularly the lungs.
  • Angioplasty and Venous Stenting When blood flow is severely impaired due to vein damage, balloon angioplasty is used to widen the vein. A venous stent is often placed to keep the vein open and support long-term blood circulation. This approach is used when restoring blood flow is the main goal, even if the clot itself is not fully removed.
    • The choice of procedure depends on the location, size, and risk level of the clot, along with the patient’s overall health. Your vascular surgeon will determine the most appropriate treatment based on a comprehensive diagnosis.

    FAQ About DVT Treatment

    How is DVT diagnosed?

    DVT is diagnosed through duplex ultrasound, D-dimer blood tests, and sometimes venography or MRI/CT scans to assess the size and location of the clot.

    What are the non-surgical treatments for DVT?

    Common treatments include anticoagulant medications (blood thinners), compression stockings, and lifestyle modifications such as leg elevation and mobility exercises.

    When is surgery recommended for DVT?

    Surgery is considered when the clot is large, causes severe symptoms, risks embolism, or does not respond to medication.

    Is DVT surgery painful or risky?

    While generally safe, risks can include bleeding, infection, vein damage, or recurrence. The procedure is usually done under anesthesia to minimize discomfort.

    How long does it take to recover from DVT surgery?

    Recovery depends on the specific procedure and the patient’s health but typically involves a few days of rest followed by gradual return to normal activity with medical supervision
