Deep Vein Thrombosis Treatment in Hyderabad

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition where blood clots, or thrombi, form in the deep veins, typically in the legs. It can lead to discomfort, swelling, and in severe cases, life-threatening complications like pulmonary embolism.

Symptoms of DVT Include:

• Swelling in the affected leg (rarely in both legs).
• Pain, often starting in the calf and resembling cramping or soreness.
• Red or discolored skin on the leg.
• Warm and heavy sensation in the affected limb.

Diagnosis at One Stop Vascular Solutions:

To diagnose DVT, our medical professionals consider your symptoms and conduct a physical examination. Based on the risk assessment, they may recommend the following tests:

• D-dimer Blood Test: Measures the quantity of D-dimer, a protein produced by blood clots.
• Ultrasound Duplex: Utilizes sound waves to create images of blood flow through veins, serving as a gold standard for DVT detection.
• Venography: Involves injecting dye followed by an X-ray to visualize veins.

Treatment Options:

• Blood Thinners (Anticoagulants): Commonly prescribed to prevent clot enlargement and further risks. Heparin, Enoxaparin, Fondaparinux, Warfarin, Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban, Apixaban, and Edoxaban are various options.
• Clot Busters (Thrombolytics): Administered through IV or a catheter directly into the clot for more severe cases.
• Filters: Placed in the vena cava to prevent clots from reaching the lungs, suitable for those unable to take blood thinners or has complications because of blood thinners.
• Compression Stockings: Special socks to prevent blood pooling and clotting, are recommended for at least two years.
