If you suffer with pain and swelling caused by blood clots in your legs, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis or DVT, there’s great news. A breakthrough treatment for DVT is now available at John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital’s Deep Vein Thrombosis Program.
Using a powerful new technology called AngioJet® mechanical thrombectomy in combination with clot-softening drugs, John C. specialists break apart and vacuum out deep-vein blood clots in legs — thus eliminating deep vein thrombosis. Pain usually disappears overnight. Swelling is typically gone within 7 to 10 days.
Performed on an outpatient basis, this state-of-the-art treatment for DVT is a powerful new alternative to blood-thinning medications and compression stockings. Patients are more likely to return to their previous level of physical activity. It virtually eliminates the potentially fatal risk of pulmonary embolism.
John C. Lincoln invites you to learn more about deep vein thrombosis, as well as how this new treatment for DVT can remove blood clots in legs with less risk and pain.
