A DVT is a highly dangerous blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. If the clot breaks loose, it can travel to your lungs causing a fatal Pulmonary Embolism. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
Rapid, unexplained swelling (edema) in one of your legs, ankles, or feet. The affected leg will often look visibly larger than the other.
Intense, throbbing pain or severe cramping that usually begins in your calf muscle and worsens when you stand or walk.
The skin over the affected area may turn red, purplish, or pale, and feel noticeably unusually warm to the touch.
Historically, DVT was treated only with blood thinners, which don't actively dissolve the existing clot—they only stop it from growing, leaving you in pain for months. Dr. Kabra utilizes the advanced Penumbra Aspiration System to actively vacuum the clot out of your body.
Under local anesthesia, a small catheter is inserted, usually behind the knee. Contrast dye and X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy) are used to map the exact size and location of the blood clot in your deep veins.
The highly specialized Penumbra catheter is navigated directly into the blood clot. This device is connected to an advanced, computer-controlled aspiration (suction) pump.
The system acts like a powerful, miniature vacuum, safely sucking the clot out of the vein and out of your body. If the vein is permanently narrowed, Dr. Kabra may place a small stent to keep it open and ensure healthy blood flow returns.
Operating on complex venous systems requires specialized training in peripheral interventions. Many facilities lack the advanced technology or the technical expertise to perform mechanical clot aspiration safely.
As a leading interventional cardiologist in Jaipur with extensive experience in advanced vascular interventions, Dr. Kabra is highly skilled in utilizing the Penumbra system. His rapid, decisive action saves limbs from permanent damage and protects patients from life-threatening pulmonary embolisms.
