About DVT

Deep vein thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in one or more deep veins of the body. It can be asymptomatic in some cases, but it mostly presents with pain and swelling. It can occur in any part of the body, but it mostly occurs in the leg. It can be very serious as these blood clots can travel through the bloodstream and block the pulmonary blood flow.

DVT treatment focuses on preventing the clot from getting bigger and breaking loose to travel to the lungs or other veins. In the beginning stages, the doctor can manage the condition using medications such as blood thinners, clot busters, and compression stockings. However, the only permanent treatment for DVT is clot removal through laser ablation.

Treatment

Diagnosis

If you are showing symptoms of deep vein thrombosis, the doctor will run a thorough physical exam, including several diagnostic tests such as:

  • Blood test: The first step is conducting a blood exam to determine the complete blood profile. If the patient’s blood has D dimer, a protein produced by blood clots, they might have a DVT.
  • Duplex venous ultrasound: The ultrasound technician performs an ultrasound over the suspected region. If applying pressure to the vein doesn’t compress it, it may have a clot.
  • Venography: The technician injects a dye in the suspected vein with the clot. Then, an X-ray is taken to diagnose the clot. It’s an invasive procedure, so it is avoided whenever possible.
  • MRI: MRI scans are usually performed to diagnose DVT in the abdomen.

Treatment

The doctor devises a treatment plan for the patient after determining the size of the clot and its location. For mild to moderate cases of DVT, the laser ablation technique is the best course of treatment. The doctor uses a high-intensity laser beam to dissolve the clot. Since the treatment is done via laser, it does not involve incisions or stitches. Therefore, there are no postoperative complications of this procedure.

How to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?
