Benefits of Thrombectomy
Symptoms




Types of conditions
There are undefined main types of Thrombectomy
CAUSES:
- Blood Clots: Formed due to conditions like atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or atherosclerosis.
- Embolism: A blood clot that travels through the bloodstream and lodges in a narrow vessel, causing a blockage.
- Atrial Fibrillation: An irregular heartbeat that can cause blood to pool and clot in the heart.
- Atherosclerosis: Hardening and narrowing of the arteries due to plaque buildup, increasing the risk of clot formation.
- Sedentary Lifestyle: Prolonged inactivity can lead to blood clot formation, especially in the legs.
- Smoking: Damages blood vessels and increases the risk of clot formation.
- Genetic Factors: Certain inherited conditions may increase the risk of clot formation.
SYMPTOMS:
- Sudden Weakness or Paralysis: Often on one side of the body, particularly in cases of stroke.
- Loss of Speech or Vision: Sudden difficulties in speaking, understanding, or seeing.
- Severe Headache: Often associated with stroke when a blood clot blocks a brain artery.
- Pain or Swelling: In the affected limb, commonly in cases of deep vein thrombosis.
- Coldness or Pallor: Affected limbs may feel cold or appear pale due to reduced blood flow.
- Numbness or Tingling: Sensation changes in the affected limb due to nerve compression or blood flow obstruction.
- Difficulty Walking: Loss of coordination or balance, especially if the clot is in the brain.
DIAGNOSIS:
- Imaging Studies: CT scans or MRIs to visualize blood clots and assess the extent of blockage.
- Ultrasound: Used for detecting clots in veins, especially in the legs (DVT).
- Angiography: A specialized imaging technique using contrast dye to visualize blood vessels and locate blockages.
- Blood Tests: Assess clotting factors and overall blood health, identifying risk factors for clot formation.
- Patient History: Review of symptoms, risk factors (e.g., heart disease, smoking), and previous clotting incidents.
- Physical Examination: Evaluates symptoms like swelling, pain, or neurological deficits related to blood clots.
- EKG: Detects heart rhythm abnormalities, like atrial fibrillation, that may lead to clot formation.
TREATMENT:
- Mechanical Thrombectomy: A minimally invasive procedure using catheters to physically remove the clot from the blood vessel.
- Anticoagulants: Medications like heparin or warfarin to prevent further clot formation.
- Thrombolytic Therapy: Administration of clot-dissolving drugs (e.g., tissue plasminogen activator) to break down the clot.
- Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis: Delivers clot-dissolving drugs directly to the site of the clot through a catheter.
- Balloon Angioplasty: Used to widen the blood vessel after clot removal to restore normal blood flow.
- Stent Placement: A small mesh tube inserted into the vessel to keep it open and prevent future blockages.
- Post-Procedural Care: Includes monitoring for recurrence, medication management, and lifestyle changes to reduce clotting risk.

Commonly Asked Questions
What is thrombectomy?
Thrombectomy is a medical procedure that removes a blood clot from a blood vessel to restore normal blood flow and prevent tissue or organ damage.
When is a thrombectomy needed?
It is needed in cases of acute ischemic stroke, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism where a blood clot obstructs vital blood flow.
How is thrombectomy performed?
The procedure is typically performed using a catheter inserted through a blood vessel, guided to the clot's location, where the clot is then mechanically removed.
What are the risks of thrombectomy?
Risks include bleeding, infection, damage to the blood vessel, or stroke if the clot fragments and travels to another part of the body.
What is the recovery time after a thrombectomy?
Recovery time varies, but most patients experience significant improvement within a few days, although full recovery may take weeks depending on the clot's location and severity.
