At Pristyn Care, we make sure that every person who needs advanced deep vein thrombosis treatment in India gets optimal care. We leverage modern technology and treat patients with compassion to understand and resolve their problems.
Our vascular surgeons are skilled in performing advanced deep vein thrombosis treatments such as thrombectomy, IVC filter implantation, angioplasty, etc. They have an average experience of 10-13 years and provide comprehensive DVT treatments.
The Vascular Surgeons will first ask you about the symptoms, go through your medical history and carry out a physical evaluation by checking for the signs of swelling or enlargement and discoloration of the veins. In addition, the doctor may touch the affected area to check the tenderness in your legs. S/he may also suggest a few diagnostic tests to initiate the best-suited treatment for DVT. Some of the diagnostic tests are-
You can expect the following things during deep vein thrombosis treatment-
It is a condition of venous insufficiency. If DVT is left untreated, it can lead to complications that can be severe and life-threatening. In case you don’t seek proper treatment for DVT on time, the blood clot can travel to the lungs from other parts of the body, blocking one or more arteries or blood vessels in your lungs, resulting in a fatal complication of pulmonary embolism. A pulmonary embolism is followed by a number of signs and symptoms that include shortness of breath, chest pain while coughing or inhaling, a rapid heart rate, etc.
Some of the tips that may help you in faster and smooth recovery:
There are certain non-invasive treatment options for treating the condition of deep vein thrombosis by preventing the blood clot from getting bigger or breaking loose and traveling to the lungs. Depending upon the severity of your condition, the doctor might prescribe a number of medications or preventive gear that include:
Mrs. Sonia Aggarwal (name changed) contacted Pristyn Care on 27th September 2021 by filling out the appointment form on the website. She was suffering from extreme pain that felt like muscle cramp initially. It eventually got worse and unbearable as she informed our medical coordinator.
Our medical coordinator connected her to one of our best vascular doctors, Dr. Bhaskar M.V. The doctor performed a thorough diagnosis and noted she had a blood clot in her left leg. That blood clot was a result of DVT condition. Dr. Bhaskar advised a few diagnostic tests such as MRI scan, duplex ultrasound, venography, and d-dimer blood test to detect the severity of the deep vein thrombosis.
Dr. Bhaskar recommended thrombectomy to remove the blood clot present in her leg and prescribed anticoagulants to prevent the formation of blood clots. He later scheduled two follow-up consultations and recovered well post DVT surgery.
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.
Generally, one can resume work within a week of surgery, especially if you have a desk job. However, for better results and smoother recovery, it is always advisable to take a rest for at least 10-14 days.
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, the area affected by deep vein thrombosis, etc.
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.
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.
On average, DVT treatment costs around Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 1,50,000 approximately in India.
Thrombectomy is a complex procedure that needs to be performed with precision. Therefore, the price of this surgery is generally on the higher side. On average, the cost of Deep Vein Thrombosis surgery starts from Rs. 1.00.000 and goes up to Rs. 3,00,000. On the other hand, the charges of angioplasty in India are generally between Rs. 1,00,000 to Rs. 6,00,000. The actual cost of both procedures can vary based on the severity of the condition.
Some factors that can cause a difference in the cost of this surgery are:

Inferior vena cava (IVC) Filter
This is a metallic device that is placed inside the inferior vena cava that runs through the abdomen. IVC filters help in reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism by trapping blood clots and preventing them from reaching the lungs. During the procedure, an incision is made around the abdomen and a catheter is inserted into the vein which is guided by an X-ray. The filter is then placed over the blood clot inside the vein and gradually, it attaches itself to the walls of the vein. This method of treatment is usually prescribed if you are unable to take medicines to thin your blood.
Catheter-directed thrombolysis
This is a minimally invasive procedure that dissolves the abnormal blood clots present in the blood vessels to help improve blood flow and prevent any further damage to the tissues and organs. Catheter-directed thrombolysis uses a catheter, guided by X-ray imaging that helps in applying the medical device to the site of a blood clot in order to dissolve the blockage.
Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy/Angioplasty
This is considered very safe and effective for treating a condition of acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. A percutaneous thrombectomy is combined with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty which includes the insertion of a catheter attached to a small inflatable balloon through a tiny incision around the site of the clot. Once the balloon is inserted, it is inflated and slowly pulled back outside, entirely removing the clot within the vein.
Open thrombectomy
Also known as venous thrombectomy, this is a procedure that involves surgical removal of the blood clot present inside an artery or a vein. During this procedure, the surgeon makes cuts or incisions in the blood vessels around the blood clot. Once the blood clot is identified, the surgeon removes the blood clot before repairing the blood vessels and the tissues.
