Thrombectomy is a medical procedure used to remove blood clots (thrombi) from blood vessels. This procedure is typically performed in cases where a blood clot is causing a blockage in a blood vessel, leading to reduced blood flow and potentially serious complications such as stroke or heart attack. Thrombectomy can be performed using various techniques, including mechanical devices or medications that dissolve the clot. This procedure is often used in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke or deep vein thrombosis. Thrombectomy has been shown to be effective in restoring blood flow and reducing the risk of long-term complications in patients with blood clots.
