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
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 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.
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– It is also known as thrombolytic therapy or fibrinolytic therapy, in which certain medications are used to break the blood clots that are formed in the vessels. The most common medicine that is used in this technique is tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) but there are other medicines also available.
IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) Filter– The IVC filter is a metal device that looks like an umbrella and can stop the blood clot’s movements. It is placed inside the main vein, i.e., the inferior vena cava that runs through the belly. An incision is made around the abdomen and a catheter is inserted into the vein using an X-ray guide. The filter is placed over the blood clot inside the vein and it attaches itself to the walls of the vein.
Thrombectomy– Also known as venous thrombectomy, it is a procedure that involves surgical removal of the vein clot. During thrombectomy, the vascular surgeon will make an incision into the blood vessel to remove the blood clot. Then the blood vessels and tissues are also repaired.
Angioplasty– In some cases, angioplasty or the balloon suction technique may be used to keep the vein inflated and a stent may be used to hold it open while the blood clot is being removed. When the blood clot is extracted, the balloon is also taken out simultaneously.
The surgical methods available for DVT treatment are not without risks.

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.
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.
If you are experiencing any of the following signs, get in touch with the vascular surgeon to get a thorough diagnosis along with the best-suited treatment:
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.
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.
The common symptoms associated with deep vein thrombosis include cramping, throbbing, swelling, redness, and warmth in the affected area. It is highly advisable to visit an experienced vascular specialist if you notice any of these symptoms related to deep vein thrombosis for proper diagnosis and to get effective treatment.
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 Mumbai for proper diagnosis along with the best deep vein thrombosis treatment.
Thrombectomy and laser procedures for deep vein thrombosis are advanced and performed with the latest medical technology. They are generally considered safe and more effective as compared to conventional methods for deep vein thrombosis treatment.
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.
Some mild cases of deep vein thrombosis can be treated through medications and lifestyle modifications. However, if the condition of deep vein thrombosis is severe, it is always a better option not to delay the proper treatment to get faster relief.
Travel that may require prolonged hours of continuous sitting or standing can escalate the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis and worsen the condition. Therefore, if you have deep vein thrombosis and you need to travel, you must discuss it with your doctor and take proper precautions to minimize the complication of the condition.
Following are some people who may be at higher risk for developing deep vein thrombosis:
It is not at all advised to massage legs with DVT. This can make the blood clot break free from the vein walls and enter into the bloodstream which can result in potentially fatal complications like pulmonary embolism.
Yes, wearing compression stockings may help in increasing the blood flow in the affected area and reduce swelling and discomfort. Hence, wearing stockings can help in preventing the possible complications of deep vein thrombosis to some extent.
You should consider consulting a hematologist, radiologist, or vascular surgeon to seek medical advice or treatment for your blood clots or deep vein thrombosis.
Yes. A deep vein thrombosis can be acquired due to blood clots during surgery. As most surgeries are performed by using anesthesia, it can numb sensations in certain areas of the body or induce sleep. This lack of movement can lead to the formation of blood clots and can ultimately result in deep vein thrombosis.
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.
No, people often mistake these two conditions as the same, but they are different. PVT refers to the formation of blood clots in the superficial veins that are closer to the skin surface. On the other hand, DVT involves the formation of blood clots in the deep veins, usually in the legs or pelvis.
PVT, commonly known as superficial vein thrombosis or phlebitis, is a condition in which blood clots form in the superficial veins, usually in the arms or legs. It can be caused due to varicose veins or other vein abnormalities.
Common symptoms of PVT are very similar to varicose veins. They may include:
Peripheral vein thrombosis is a less severe condition than DVT and often requires medical management and lifestyle changes. Unless severe symptoms, like chest pain, breathing issues, swelling in the affected extremity, etc., are present, doctors recommend pain relievers, compression therapy, warm compresses, leg elevation, activity modifications, and regular monitoring.
Generally, PVT is less dangerous than DVT, but in some cases, the clot can migrate to deeper veins and may even lead to complications, such as pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening.
Yes, blood thinning medications work for PVT, but not all cases require blood thinners. The decision to prescribe anticoagulant medications is made by the doctor based on the extent of the clot, the risk of complications, and other individual factors that make them prone to blood clot formation.
PVT may or may not resolve on its own. Usually, the condition requires proper self-care measures from the patient, and the body’s natural healing processes break down the clot over time. In some cases, this might not happen, due to which the patient may require further intervention from a vascular doctor.
Typically, it takes several weeks to months for peripheral or superficial vein thrombosis to resolve, even with medications. The duration of healing will vary based on the treatment method proposed by the doctor.
Deep vein thrombosis is one condition that can have serious and even life-threatening implications. With rapidly changing and fast-paced lives, people are even more prone to deep vein thrombosis.
