Balloon catheter thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove blood clots that are obstructing blood flow in veins or arteries. During the procedure, a catheter with a balloon at its tip is inserted into the affected vessel, and the balloon is inflated to break up and remove the clot.

Balloon catheter thrombectomy is commonly used in cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) and helps restore normal blood circulation, reducing the risk of further complications.
