What is Thrombectomy?

Thrombectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a thrombus (blood clot) from a blood vessel. It is often performed in arteries or veins, particularly in the brain or limbs. This procedure helps restore normal blood flow, preventing damage to tissues and organs.

Thrombectomy is needed when a blood clot obstructs blood flow, leading to conditions like stroke or deep vein thrombosis. If untreated, these conditions can cause severe complications, including tissue death or organ failure. Modern surgical approaches for thrombectomy include mechanical thrombectomy and catheter-directed thrombolysis. These methods are minimally invasive, using small incisions and specialized tools to remove or dissolve the clot effectively.

Complete Guide To Thrombectomy

Everything you need to know about the procedure, preparation, and recovery

Thrombectomy Procedure Indications

Doctors recommend a thrombectomy when blood clots obstruct blood flow, posing serious health risks. This procedure is often considered when non-surgical treatments do not resolve the issue.

Acute Limb Ischaemia

Patients may experience sudden pain, numbness, or coldness in a limb. Doctors find reduced or absent pulses in the affected limb. If medications and other interventions fail, thrombectomy is necessary to restore blood flow.

Acute Myocardial Infarction

Severe chest pain and shortness of breath are common symptoms. ECG and blood tests reveal heart muscle damage. When clot-busting drugs do not work, thrombectomy helps remove the blockage in coronary arteries.

Ischaemic Stroke

Sudden weakness, speech difficulties, or vision problems are warning signs. Brain imaging shows a blocked artery. If clot-dissolving drugs are ineffective, thrombectomy can quickly restore cerebral circulation.

Deep Vein Thrombosis

Swelling, pain, and redness in the leg are typical symptoms. Ultrasound confirms a clot in the deep veins. When anticoagulants do not alleviate symptoms, thrombectomy may be required to prevent complications.

Pulmonary Embolism

Patients often have chest pain, rapid breathing, or coughing. CT scans reveal clots in the lungs. If thrombolytic therapy is insufficient, thrombectomy is performed to remove the obstruction and improve breathing.

How to Prepare for Thrombectomy?

Proper preparation for a thrombectomy is crucial to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery. It helps reduce complications and enhances the effectiveness of the surgery.

Medication Review: Stop NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and herbal supplements as advised by your doctor.
Fasting: Do not eat or drink anything for at least 8 hours before the procedure due to anaesthesia requirements.
Medical History: Bring a list of all medications with dosages you are currently taking.
Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day of the procedure.
Transportation: Arrange for someone to drive you home post-procedure, as you may feel drowsy.
Pre-Procedure Tests: Complete any blood tests or imaging studies as instructed by your healthcare provider.
Consent Forms: Ensure all necessary consent forms are signed and submitted before the procedure.
Personal Items: Leave valuables at home and bring only essentials to the hospital.

Thrombectomy Procedure (Step-by-Step)

Thrombectomy is performed by Interventional Cardiologist and the procedure typically lasts 1-2 hours. It is usually done under local or regional anaesthesia, depending on the patient's condition.

Preparation: The patient is positioned comfortably on the operating table. The surgical area is cleaned and sterilised. Local or regional anaesthesia is administered to numb the area.
Incision: A small incision, usually about 1-2 cm, is made near the site of the clot. The patient may feel slight pressure but no pain due to the anaesthesia.
Accessing the Clot: A catheter is inserted through the incision. Using imaging guidance, the catheter is navigated to the location of the blood clot.
Clot Removal: Special instruments like a thrombectomy catheter or aspiration device are used to break up and remove the clot. The patient remains awake and may feel some movement or pressure.
Restoration of Blood Flow: Once the clot is removed, the blood flow is restored. The surgeon may use a balloon or stent to keep the vessel open.
Closure: The catheter is removed, and the incision is closed with sutures or adhesive strips. A bandage is applied to protect the area.
Recovery: The patient is monitored in a recovery area. They may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with medication.
