Deep Vein Thrombosis Specialist - Dr.Ashank Bansal
Welcome to The Vascular Center, the leading healthcare facility in Mumbai for comprehensive vascular care. Our team of experienced specialists is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to patients suffering from Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins, usually in the leg. The clot can cause swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected area, and it can also increase the risk of serious complications such as pulmonary embolism, stroke, or heart attack.
If you or a loved one is suffering from DVT, don’t wait to seek treatment. Contact us today to schedule an appointment with one of our specialists and learn more about our advanced DVT treatment options.
Deep Vein Thrombosis Treatments
- Anticoagulant therapy: This involves the use of blood-thinning medications, such as heparin and warfarin, to prevent the clot from growing and reduce the risk of pulmonary embolism.
- Thrombolysis: This is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of medications to dissolve the blood clot. Thrombolysis is typically used in cases where the clot is large or causes severe symptoms.
- Venous stenting: This involves the placement of a small metal mesh tube called a stent in the affected vein to improve blood flow and prevent the clot from moving to the lungs.
- Angioplasty: This is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of a balloon catheter to widen the narrowed or blocked vein, improving blood flow.
- Compression stockings: These are specially designed stockings that apply pressure to the legs, helping to reduce swelling and prevent blood from pooling in the veins
