WHAT IS DVT?

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM CELLULITIS?

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF DVT?

Major DVT s can cause life threatening Pulmonary embolism where a major chunk of the clot can break through and reach the lung vessels and choke them and the patient will stop breathing and collapse and may succumb to death immediately.

HOW DO YOU TREAT DVT?

An Acute DVT patient should be diagnosed early and treated with blood thinners promptly. In selected patients it is possible to melt or suck the clot using thrombolytic drugs and thrombosuction devices.
