About Deep vein thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis or DVT is a condition in which a blood clot (thrombus) forms in the deep veins. This condition most commonly occurs in the legs and causes pain or swelling in the earlier stages. It may or may not resolve on its own. If DVT doesn't resolve on its own, it creates a risk of pulmonary embolism, postphlebitic syndrome, and other problems too. In a few cases, DVT can be treated with medications, but some people may require surgical treatment to resolve the condition.

If you have been diagnosed with DVT, get in touch with Pristyn Care and consult our doctors to find out whether you need surgical or medical treatment for DVT.

Treatment

Diagnosis

The doctor asks about the symptoms and carries out a thorough physical exam to look for areas of swelling, discolored skin, and soreness. If the doctor suspects the presence of an underlying blot clot, they ask for certain tests.

  • Deep vein thrombosis is usually diagnosed through a Doppler’s ultrasound. In Doppler’s ultrasound, high-frequency sound waves are used to check the flow of blood through the veins. The ultrasound detects the blood flow and an impaired blood flow indicates the presence of blood clots in the vein.
  • The doctor may conduct a series of ultrasounds to check if the blood clot is growing or to look for new blood clots that may have formed.

Procedure

In the beginning, the doctor will provide medications (blood thinners like heparin, warfarin, enoxaparin, or fondaparinux) or suggest using compression stockings to improve the blood flow and minimize the chances of blood clot formation.

If medical treatment doesn’t work, the doctor will recommend other methods. Deep vein thrombosis is most commonly done in combination with one or more of the following treatment methods:

  • Thrombolysis
  • Anticoagulant medications
  • Angioplasty & stenting
  • Thrombectomy
  • Placing a vena cava filter in the deep vein

Frequently Asked Questions

Is deep vein thrombosis fatal?

Yes. Deep vein thrombosis can be life-threatening if you don’t get treatment for the disease on time. The blood clots that form inside the vein can break and travel to the lungs through the bloodstream. It can lead to pulmonary embolism which will be fatal.

Is DVT curable through medicine?

Yes. In mild cases, DVT can be cured with the help of medicines, specifically anticoagulants. But you should not take these medicines without a prescription. Make sure that you consult a vascular specialist before taking any of the coagulant medications or blood thinners for deep vein thrombosis.

Who should I consult for DVT treatment?

For DVT treatment, the best person to consult is a vascular surgeon. A vascular surgeon specializes in diagnosing and treating all kinds of vascular diseases, including DVT. They will assess your condition and suggest the most feasible treatment method to resolve DVT.

How much does DVT surgery cost in Mohali?

The cost of DVT surgery in Mohali ranges from Rs. 95,000 to Rs. 1,50,000 approximately. The exact cost of surgery may vary according to various factors, such as the severity of the condition, surgeon’s fee, hospitalization charges, medication cost, risks, post-surgery care, etc.

Is DVT treatment safe?

Yes. At Pristyn Care, we employ the advanced endovenous laser technique to break down the blood clots. In case there is a risk in removing all blood clots, the surgeon will place a filter inside the large abdominal vein to prevent the blood clots from entering the lungs. The chances of DVT recurrence after surgery are also minimal.

How long does deep vein thrombosis surgery last?

The advanced and latest deep vein thrombosis treatment procedures may last 25-45 minutes. However, the surgical duration may vary depending on factors such as the type of technique used during the procedure, the type of anesthesia given to the patient, area affected by deep vein thrombosis, etc.

Can deep vein thrombosis lead to stroke?

Yes, deep vein thrombosis may lead to stroke. If the blood clot separates from the walls of the veins and happens to hinder the blood circulation system, it can cause serious complications such as heart stroke.

Is deep vein thrombosis surgery painful?

No. Deep vein thrombosis surgery performed with the latest medical technology is minimally invasive and performed under the influence of anesthesia, which makes the treatment painless and smooth as compared to conventional methods. However, you may feel little discomfort post deep thrombosis surgery which can be managed through prescribed medication by your vascular specialist.

Is it safe to exercise with deep vein thrombosis in the leg?

Doing exercise in deep vein thrombosis can be highly beneficial as it can enhance the blood circulation in the body. However, experts always suggest not to indulge in rigorous physical activities or exercises that exert pressure on the affected area.

Do varicose veins cause deep vein thrombosis?

People who have varicose veins are at higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis as compared to others. If varicose veins are left untreated, the blood cells can clump together to cause blood clots, Which may result in deep vein thrombosis.

Can deep vein thrombosis cure on its own?

In rare cases, small clots present in the veins can disintegrate and dissolve on their own. But, if there are blood clots that are large or multiple in number, they usually do not go on their own and may need immediate medical advice. Therefore, consult a highly experienced vascular specialist at Pristyn Care in Mohali for proper diagnosis along with the best deep vein thrombosis treatment.

Is deep vein thrombosis life-threatening?

Deep vein thrombosis is generally not a life-threatening condition if treated timely. However, in rare cases, if deep vein thrombosis is left untreated, it can create serious health concerns like pulmonary embolism, which can become life-threatening if not treated on time.

Can deep vein thrombosis be prevented?

If spotted early, deep vein thrombosis can be prevented by following healthy practices such as refraining from smoking, maintaining healthy body weight, breathing exercises to promote blood circulation, drinking plenty of fluids, or wearing compression stockings regularly. However, deep vein thrombosis in severe cases can not be prevented and needs immediate medical attention.

Why should you not delay DVT treatment?

Deep vein thrombosis is a condition that can cause serious complications when left untreated. The worst situation can arise if DVT leads to pulmonary embolism or post-thrombotic syndrome. In pulmonary embolism, a blood clot gets detached and reaches the lungs through the bloodstream. It disrupts the blood flow inside the lungs and increases the risk of heart failure. In post-thrombotic syndrome, you may experience various problems that won’t resolve on their own. You will feel heaviness in the legs, the skin will become red, and new varicose veins may appear.

Overall, your life will become challenging and you may even have issues while walking. Another thing that will make your life harder is leg ulcers. If leg ulcers start to form, they will also increase the risk of excessive bleeding. Hence, it can be said that ignoring or delaying DVT treatment is never a good choice.
