Question 1

i've 1 copy of factor v leiden & have a blood clot in my femoral artery as a result of an angiogram, with no flow. will the clot eventually break off?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The femoral artery that closed following a procedure is unlikely to open. What usually happens is small arteries called collaterals open up to preserve the circulation in the lower extreme ties. It is often inadequate and most often will require opening the artery by balloon angioplasty/stent or by surgery. This is often done as soon as it is recognized that the femoral artery has closed

Question 2

i had a femoral artery blood clot that was "blasted out". afterwards my lower leg from just below the knee went numb. what cause cause this?

Accepted Answer

Embolization: I suspect that by "blasted out" you had some sort of percutaneous thrombectomy. I worry that the clot travelled down your leg. If it is still numb, you need to be evaluated.

Question 3

Question 4

Question 5

is it common to get blood clots after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Depends on your personal health and the type of surgery.

Question 6

what blood clot disorders are common when pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy itself: Pregnancy itself raises the coagulability of the blood 600%.  You can imagine why that might be useful if you've ever seen a delivery, which can be bloody.  But it can lead to clots during pregnancy that migrate to the lungs causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.  The likelihood of clots rises if you slow blood down.  So if you travel while pregnant, don' t sit in one place for too long.

Question 7

how common is blood clots with alesse bc? just worried

Accepted Answer

Not common: Birth control typically causes lighter and shorter periods.

Question 8

is it common for hickeys to cause blood clots or strokes?

Accepted Answer

: No. These blood stains are localized under the skin surface. The blood breaks down over time and the staining is gradually removed. This does not travel to or form a clot inside an artery which would be the origin of a stroke.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Google it: Calf/leg pain, swelling, redness, heat, fever are common signs.

Question 10

is it common to get small blood clots after having a tonsillectomy?
