- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. It can cause pain, swelling, redness, and warmth, and may lead to serious complications such as pulmonary embolism if left untreated.
At Vascular Care Clinic, we provide timely diagnosis and advanced, minimally invasive treatment options for DVT using image-guided interventional radiology techniques to restore blood flow and prevent long-term complications.
Every patient undergoes thorough clinical evaluation and imaging studies to determine the extent of clot formation and plan individualized treatment.
DVT treatment is performed by Dr. Ankit Shah (MD, FNVIR), Consultant Interventional Radiologist, using advanced imaging-guided techniques to safely dissolve or remove clots, restore circulation, and reduce the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome.
