A member asked:
What can be done for blood clots in my right leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thin the blood: Anticoagulation is the mainstay of therapy. This usually begins as an injectable Heparin or an IV drip. Patients are then transitioned over to coumadin (warfarin). Compression hose also are a useful adjunct to reduce symptoms. Very few patients require a blood clot removal or ivc filter placement. However, they may be indicated in patients with severe proximal disease or who fail anticoagulation.
