Question 4

Accepted Answer

Interventional rad: I dont completely follow your questiob but many centers have Interventional Radiologist and/or interventional neurology - these are specialist who through catheterizations (wires / lines placed in your artery and veins) can help non-surgically with many problems

Question 5

is there a treatment for a blood clot in your liver if you carry the factor five blood disorder ?

Yes: Factor 5 leaves you at increased risk for clots. A clot in the liver would normally be treated with a temporary course of blood thinners. If you are prone to clots, like having factor 5 leiden, you may need life  long blood thinners.

Question 6

Question 7

what is the treatment of large blood clot in bladder?

Accepted Answer

Cause determination: large clots in the bladder will either dissolve and be voided out or can be evacuated cystoscopically.  The more important question is what caused the bleeding. Anyone with a large clot in the bladder should have a cystoscopy and possibly even imaging of their kidneys to determine the cause

Question 8

what's the treatment for a blood clot in the lungs of 80 year old female?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: There are many things doctors consider when recommending "best" treatment. Generally it comes down to a blood thinner (there are several) vs a filter (also many types) to prevent more big clots from going to the lung. The doctor must carefully assess the risks and benefits on an individual basis. "best" treatment is a case by case assessment.

Question 9

what would treatment be for a 94 year old women with dementia, who has been diagnosed with blood clot in her leg?

Accepted Answer

Anticoagulation?: The real ethical question is the extent of therapeutic intervention in the face of dementia.  If the cognitive issues are severe, one might wonder about hospice care, but if mild, I would not withhold anticoagulants and TED stockings to prevent potential pulmonary embolism.

Question 10

after a majority removal of full leg blood clot with rapid lysis treatment how long will it take for swelling to go away or see major improvement?

Accepted Answer

Depends on clot type: It depends on whether the blood clot was in an artery or vein; since you describe swelling, seems likely it was a vein.  Unfortunately, many times the vein can be damaged to the point that the valves in the vein do not function normally, and do not keep blood from falling to the feet.  Make sure to see a good vein specialist during recovery, and follow their instructions.  Good luck!
