Modern medicine has evolved considerably in the treatment of blood clots. Taking the lower extremity thrombosis as an example, any belonging to the arterial vascular thrombosis, usually choose the thrombolysis, thrombus removal treatment steps will be with thrombus blood vessels to open. Thrombolysis is a drug therapy that involves systemic or localized catheterization to dissolve the thrombus. Thrombolysis is a surgical procedure that involves removing the thrombus. The traditional procedure is balloon thrombolysis, but modern thrombolysis is a combination of thrombolysis and thrombolysis. So, can thrombectomy remove a blood clot from a blood vessel in the heart? The answer is yes, but the safety of the procedure depends on the exact location of the clot.
If the thrombus is in a vein, it can be treated with thrombectomy. However, because venous blood vessels have strong compensatory properties and rich collateral circulation, it is more difficult to perform thrombectomy. Therefore, there are not many venous thrombectomy procedures. However, with the upgrading of medical equipment and the improvement of doctors' treatment level, the number of cases of thrombus removal from venous blood vessels has been increasing in recent years.
If the thrombus is in an arterial vessel, such as a heart vessel or a cerebral vessel, more attention needs to be paid to removing the thrombus. This is because if a cerebral or cardiac infarction develops, it can cause incalculable harm.
If the thrombus is in the coronary artery of the heart, it needs to be treated as soon as possible once the symptoms of embolism appear. For some of the small blood vessels thrombus, generally can be used to dissolve the thrombus of the treatment, and if some of the thicker blood vessels, should be carried out to remove the embolism surgery, but the time to remove the embolism surgery should not be too long.
So, according to the current medical level, the thrombus can be taken out from the blood vessel of the heart when the thrombectomy is performed.
