Blood Clots
Blood Clots
Blood clots, though a natural response to injury, can become dangerous when they form inappropriately. At our clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, using the latest minimally invasive procedures to restore blood flow and prevent complications.
What Are Blood Clots?
Blood clots occur when blood thickens and forms a mass. While they help stop bleeding after an injury, clots can obstruct blood flow in veins or arteries, leading to serious health risks.
Symptoms of Blood Clots
- Swelling, redness, or warmth in the affected limb.
- Sudden shortness of breath (in pulmonary embolism).
- Persistent pain or cramping in the leg or arm.
Causes and Risk Factors
- Prolonged immobility or surgery.
- Smoking, obesity, or pregnancy.
- Conditions like cancer or genetic clotting disorders.
Treatment Options for Blood Clots
Our vascular specialists use advanced therapies, including:
- Anticoagulants: Blood-thinning medications to prevent clot growth.
- Thrombolysis: A minimally invasive procedure to dissolve clots.
- Surgical Intervention: Removal of life-threatening clots when necessary.
Preventive Measures
Regular check-ups, compression stockings, and lifestyle adjustments can minimize clot risks.
