Acute DVT treatment The goal in the treatment of acute (new) DVT is to remove or dissolve the blood clot. Once the clot is removed, the swelling and pain typically go away. Chronic DVT treatments Older clots and scars may remain from prior DVT. We have a variety of techniques to re-open veins that have been blocked long-term. Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter Clinic We are pioneering new endovascular methods to retrieve IVC filters, regardless of implantation length, that have become embedded within the IVC. Pulmonary embolism treatments People with DVT can reduce their chances of developing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Patients with pulmonary embolism also can be treated to reduce the risk of complications.
