Endovascular thrombolysis for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a minimally invasive procedure used to dissolve blood clots in the veins, typically in the legs. A catheter is inserted through the skin to the clot site, and thrombolytic medications are delivered to break down the clot, restoring normal blood flow.
Endovascular thrombolysis is particularly beneficial in treating large or life-threatening DVTs, helping to prevent complications like post-thrombotic syndrome, pulmonary embolism, and limb loss.
