- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Thrombectomy / Embolectomy Journey
🩺Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Sudden pain, numbness, or weakness in a limb
- Cold, pale, or bluish skin (indicates blocked blood flow)
- Loss of pulse in the affected area
- Swelling and tenderness (venous clots)
- Possible signs of stroke or organ damage (if clot travels)
🔬 Phase 2: OPD Consultation with Vascular Specialist
- Detailed medical history (clotting disorders, prior DVT, atrial fibrillation)
- Physical examination to assess blood flow and limb viability
- Doppler ultrasound or basic vascular assessment
- Rapid triage for urgent intervention if limb-threatening ischemia is suspected
📝Phase 3: Diagnosis & Planning
- Imaging: Duplex Ultrasound, CT Angiography, or MR Angiography
- Evaluate clot location (arterial vs venous) and extent of blockage
- Blood tests for clotting factors (if underlying thrombophilia suspected)
- Plan choice of procedure: open thrombectomy, catheter-directed thrombolysis, or hybrid approach
🔧Phase 4: Treatment Plan
- Surgical Thrombectomy / Embolectomy:Small incision made in the affected vessel
- Removal of clot using Fogarty balloon catheter or suction device
- Endovascular (Minimally Invasive) Options:
- Catheter-directed thrombolysis (clot-dissolving medication)
- Mechanical thrombectomy (for selected cases)
- Urgent intervention may save limb or organ function
🏥 Phase 5: Post-Surgery Care
- Monitoring in ICU if large vessel or multiple clots involved
- Anticoagulation therapy to prevent new clots (heparin/warfarin/DOACs)
- Limb elevation and early mobilization to reduce swelling
- Wound care and infection prevention
- Surveillance ultrasound to monitor vessel patency
💪 Phase 6: Recovery
- Hospital stay: 2–5 days (depending on clot size and location)
- Gradual return to daily activities in 2–4 weeks
- Lifelong clot prevention strategies: blood thinners, compression stockings, hydration, and lifestyle changes
- Regular follow-up with vascular specialist for clot recurrence monitoring

Helping you understand Our healthcare
It’s a surgical or minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot (thrombus or embolus) from a blocked artery or vein. This restores blood flow and prevents serious complications like tissue damage or organ failure.
Indications include:
• Severe limb pain or numbness due to arterial blockage
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with risk of pulmonary embolism
• Stroke due to large vessel occlusion (mechanical thrombectomy)
• Organ-threatening clots (e.g., mesenteric ischemia)
🔹 Open Surgical Thrombectomy: A small incision is made in the affected vessel, and a catheter or balloon is used to extract the clot.
🔹 Endovascular Thrombectomy: Performed via a catheter inserted through a small puncture, sometimes with clot-dissolving medication (thrombolysis).
Open thrombectomy is a surgical procedure requiring anesthesia, while endovascular methods are minimally invasive and often done under local anesthesia. The urgency depends on the clot’s location and severity.
Recovery depends on the procedure:
• Endovascular: 1–2 days hospital stay, return to light activity in a week
• Open surgery: 3–5 days hospital stay, 2–4 weeks for full recovery
