10. Treatment for Deep Vein Thrombosis
The risks associated with deep vein thrombosis make it important that treatment is received as soon as possible. It is a treatable condition and treatment often involves medication. This can be medication that will help to dissolve the clot and the medication can be delivered by a catheter. Blood thinning medication can also be used to help ensure the blood can flow.
In some cases, a vena cava filter might be used. This is a type of filter that can help to catch any blood clots passing through the system before it can become lodged in a dangerous position. This method is only usually used when medication is not successful.
