Embolism and thrombosis of vena cava - what does this mean
Embolism and thrombosis of the vena cava is a condition in which a blood clot forms in the vena cava, the large vein that carries blood from the lower body back to the heart. this clot can block the flow of blood, leading to a decreased oxygen supply to the organs and tissues. this can cause pain, swelling, and other serious complications.
What happens during the disease - embolism and thrombosis of vena cava
Embolism and thrombosis of the vena cava is a condition caused by a clot or embolus that develops in the vena cava, the major vein that carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the lower half of the body. this clot or embolus can occur in the vena cava due to a variety of factors, such as trauma, infection, inflammation, or the presence of a foreign object in the vena cava. the clot or embolus can block the flow of blood through the vena cava, resulting in decreased oxygen supply to the lower half of the body and potentially leading to tissue death and organ failure.
Clinical Pattern
More details coming soon
How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination to assess the patient’s symptoms
- Blood tests to check for high levels of D-dimer and other clotting factors
- Ultrasound imaging of the affected area
- CT scan to detect any blockages in the veins
- MRI to determine the extent of the clot
- Angiography to provide a detailed image of the blood vessels
- Venography to detect any narrowing of the veins
- Thrombolytic therapy to dissolve the clot
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce the risk of further embolism and thrombosis of vena cava.
- Administer anticoagulant medications to reduce the risk of clot formation.
- Perform a vena cava filter procedure to prevent further clotting.
- Administer thrombolytic medications to dissolve existing clots.
- Perform surgery to remove the clot.
- Monitor the patient's blood pressure and heart rate.
- Administer pain medications to reduce discomfort.
- Provide lifestyle advice to reduce the risk of further clotting.
16 Days of Hospitalization Required
