Venous thrombectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove blood clots from veins, most commonly to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT). During the procedure, a catheter or surgical instruments are used to remove or aspirate the clot, restoring normal blood flow to the affected area.

Venous thrombectomy is essential for preventing complications such as tissue necrosis, pulmonary embolism, or post-thrombotic syndrome. This procedure can significantly reduce the risk of long-term damage and improve circulation in patients suffering from venous clotting disorders.
