01
Why DVT Happens
DVT can develop due to medical conditions affecting blood clotting or prolonged immobility such as after surgery, injury, or extended bed rest.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein located deep inside your body. In severe cases, the clot may travel to the lungs causing Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism, a potentially fatal complication.
Persistent DVT can also lead to chronic leg swelling, ulcers, and the development of varicose veins. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can significantly reduce these risks.
Advanced DVT Care
UNDERSTANDING DVT
Understanding the condition
DVT requires timely medical attention because a clot can interfere with normal blood circulation and, in some cases, travel towards the lungs.
02
Modern Treatment
Severe DVT can be treated using interventional techniques. Clot-dissolving medication such as Urokinase may be delivered directly into the clot to help restore blood flow and reduce swelling.
03
IVC Filter Protection
When pulmonary embolism is present or highly likely, an IVC metal filter may be placed to help prevent clots from reaching the lungs.
RECOGNISE THE SIGNS
Common symptoms of DVT
Symptoms can vary from person to person. Recognising changes early can help in getting appropriate medical evaluation.
01
Swelling in one leg
02
Pain or tenderness while standing or walking
03
Warm skin over the affected area
04
Red or discoloured skin
05
Visible surface veins
PATIENT STORIES
DVT Case Studies
Real patient cases demonstrating advanced approaches used in the diagnosis and treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis.
01Case 01
Massive Acute DVT Treated by Thrombolysis
A 30-year-old patient with post-pregnancy DVT was successfully treated using catheter-directed thrombolysis and balloon dilatation.
02Case 02
IVC Filter Placement in Pulmonary Thromboembolism
A life-saving IVC filter was placed to prevent clot migration in a patient with pulmonary embolism risk.
03Case 03
Complete Recanalisation of Chronic Left Iliac Vein
Catheter-directed thrombolysis restored full venous flow in an 18-year-old with chronic iliac vein occlusion.
