Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Management
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Management Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers specialized management for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), providing advanced treatments like catheter-directed thrombolysis and inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement. Our experienced vascular specialists focus on removing blood clots and preventing life-threatening complications such as pulmonary embolism.
Using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, we assess the extent of the clot and customize the treatment plan. Catheter-directed thrombolysis delivers clot-dissolving medication directly to the affected vein for faster results, while IVC filters are used to stop clots from reaching the lungs in high-risk patients. Comprehensive post-treatment care and monitoring ensure safe recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence.
For those seeking DVT treatment in Hyderabad, Treatment Range Hospital is a trusted center for vascular care. With skilled doctors, advanced technology, and a patient-centric approach, we deliver effective solutions for managing deep vein thrombosis and restoring vascular health.
- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Management Journey
🩺Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Swelling, pain, or tenderness in one leg (usually calf or thigh)
- Warmth and redness over the affected area
- Leg fatigue or heaviness, especially when standing or walking
- Sudden shortness of breath or chest pain may indicate pulmonary embolism (PE) – medical emergency
🔬 Phase 2: OPD Consultation with Vascular Specialist
- Detailed medical history (recent surgery, immobility, clotting disorders)
- Physical exam to check for calf tenderness and swelling
- Doppler ultrasound for initial diagnosis
- Evaluation of risk factors (e.g., cancer, pregnancy, prior DVT) and decision on urgency of intervention
📝Phase 3: Diagnosis & Planning
- Duplex Ultrasound to confirm clot location and size
- Blood test: D-dimer (if diagnosis unclear)
- CT Pulmonary Angiography (if PE suspected)
- Plan for treatment: anticoagulation alone vs catheter-directed thrombolysis or IVC filter placement
🔧 Phase 4: Treatment Plan
- Anticoagulation (first-line treatment):Heparin, warfarin, or DOACs to prevent clot growth
- Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis (CDT):Minimally invasive procedure using a catheter to deliver clot-dissolving medication directly to the thrombus
- IVC Filter Placement (for PE prevention): A small filter is placed in the inferior vena cava to catch clots traveling toward the lungs (used when anticoagulation isn’t possible)
💊 Phase 5: Post-Treatment Care
- Monitoring in hospital if thrombolysis or IVC filter was performed
- Continuation of blood thinners for 3–6 months or longer (as per risk factors)
- Use of compression stockings to reduce swelling and prevent post-thrombotic syndrome
- Regular follow-ups with ultrasound to monitor clot resolution and filter position (if placed)
💪 Phase 6: Recovery
- Return to light activity in 1–2 weeks (if no complications)
- Early mobilization encouraged to improve circulation
- Lifestyle changes: Quit smoking 🚭, maintain healthy weight, stay active
- Long-term surveillance for recurrent DVT or PE prevention

Helping you understand Our healthcare
DVT is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs. If untreated, it can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE).
- Swelling, pain, and warmth in one leg
- Red or discolored skin over the area
- Leg feels heavy or tender, especially when walking or standing
A Doppler Ultrasound is the most common test. Sometimes a D-dimer blood test or CT scan may be used, especially if PE is suspected.
- Anticoagulation (blood thinners): First-line treatment to stop clot growth.
- Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis (CDT): A minimally invasive procedure to dissolve large clots directly.
- IVC Filter: A device placed in the vena cava to prevent clots from reaching the lungs if blood thinners aren’t suitable.
It’s recommended for patients with large, severe clots causing significant swelling or limb-threatening symptoms (like phlegmasia).
