Thrombectomy is a medical procedure used to remove a blood clot from a blood vessel. This procedure is often performed in cases of acute ischemic stroke or deep vein thrombosis, where the clot obstructs blood flow and can lead to serious complications. Thrombectomy can help restore circulation and minimize damage to affected tissues. The procedure typically involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel, guided by imaging techniques. Once the clot is located, specialized tools are used to extract it. Thrombectomy can significantly improve patient outcomes, especially when performed promptly after the onset of symptoms.
