How is blood clot treated surgically?

Thrombus is a common substance in blood vessels. It has no benefits for the human body. Instead, it can cause blood vessel blockage, thus affecting blood flow. Thrombus can grow easily almost anywhere in the body. The basis of its growth is people’s unhealthy eating habits. In addition, the reduction of exercise by modern people reduces the elasticity of blood vessel activity and causes symptoms. Therefore, the treatment of thrombosis requires adjusting lifestyle and eating habits. In order to quickly solve the problem of thrombosis, surgery must be used. Let’s take a look at the methods of surgical treatment of thrombosis.

Venous thrombosis can be treated with surgery. When the patient's condition develops to a certain extent and requires surgical treatment, the appropriate treatment method should be selected according to the patient's condition so that patients with venous thrombosis can receive good treatment.

1. Venous valve repair: Through surgery, the relaxed free edge of the valve is shortened so that it can close.

2. Valved vein segment transplantation: A segment of vein with a normal valve (such as the brachial vein) is implanted proximal to the superficial femoral vein to prevent blood backflow. Recommended reading: Prevention of deep vein thrombosis

3. Annular stenosis of the femoral vein valve: Under normal circumstances, the width of the valve sinus is larger than the width of the vein in the non-valve sinus area. Therefore, sutures, tissue pieces or artificial fabrics are wrapped around the vein to reduce its diameter, restore the diameter ratio of the valve sinus and the vein, and the valve closing function is restored.

4. Semitendinosus-biceps femoris tendon loop popliteal vein valve replacement: The principle of the operation is to utilize the contraction and relaxation of the semitendinosus-biceps femoris tendon loop to enable the popliteal vein to acquire valve-like function. Since deep venous valve insufficiency is accompanied by superficial varicose veins, high ligation of the great saphenous vein and varicose vein stripping are required at the same time. Patients with pigmentation or ulcers in the foot and boot area also need to undergo ligation of the communicating veins.

The above introduces four surgical treatments for venous thrombosis. For the treatment of venous thrombosis, we must pay attention to the combination of treatment and nursing to achieve good results in the treatment of venous thrombosis.
