Have you noticed unusual swelling, persistent pain, or a heavy feeling in your leg — especially after sitting or lying down for long periods?
Do your calves feel tender or warmer than usual, even without an injury?
These might not be just signs of tired legs — they could be early symptoms of a deep vein blood clot, also known as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
Whether you’re experiencing leg pain, swelling, or are at risk due to surgery or immobility, our multidisciplinary team ensures you receive the best care in Mumbai’s western suburbs.
At Curis Life Clinic in Andheri West, our expert interventional radiologists provide timely diagnosis and advanced care for DVT, combining compassion with cutting-edge vascular techniques — right here in your neighborhood.
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)?
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition where a blood clot forms in the deep veins, usually in the legs. These clots can partially or completely block blood flow, leading to pain, swelling, and serious complications if not treated in time.
DVT most commonly affects the calf or thigh area, but the real danger is if part of the clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs, causing a potentially fatal condition called pulmonary embolism (PE).
DVT often develops silently, especially after long periods of immobility, surgery, or due to certain health conditions that affect blood flow. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent long-term issues like post-thrombotic syndrome or recurrence of clots.
When Should You Suspect Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)?
DVT often begins silently, but symptoms may include:
- Swollen leg blood clot (usually one leg)
- Painful calf or thigh that worsens when walking or standing
- Red or discolored skin
- Warmth in the affected area
- Leg heaviness or fatigue
These are classic signs of a deep vein blood clot that needs urgent attention. If not treated, the clot can travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism — a life-threatening emergency.
Conditions
DVT can develop in anyone, but risk factors include:
- Recent surgery or injury (especially orthopedic surgeries)
- Long periods of immobility (e.g., travel, hospitalization)
- Obesity and sedentary lifestyle
- Pregnancy or recent childbirth
- Smoking and chronic diseases
- Cancer or chemotherapy
- Genetic clotting disorders (hypercoagulable state)
Conditions like venous insufficiency and peripheral vein thrombosis also increase risk, and should not be ignored.
Diagnosis
At Curis Life Clinic, Andheri West, our diagnostic process is quick, precise, and non-invasive:
- DVT Ultrasound Test – A key imaging scan to detect clots in leg veins
- Doppler Test for DVT – Measures blood flow and blockage level
- D-Dimer blood test – Checks for clotting activity in the body
- Physical examination by our experienced vascular team
All diagnostics are performed under the supervision of an expert interventional radiologist using state-of-the-art equipment.
Treatment Options for Deep Vein Thrombosis
Depending on the severity and location of the clot, we offer personalized treatment, including:
1. Blood Thinners for DVT (Anticoagulants)
Medications to prevent further clotting and help dissolve existing clots.
2. Compression Stockings for DVT
Improves venous blood circulation and reduces swelling.
3. Clot Prevention Therapy
For high-risk patients post-surgery or immobile patients.
4. Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis
A minimally invasive procedure performed by our interventional radiologist, where medication is directly delivered to dissolve the clot.
5. Emergency Treatment for DVT
In life-threatening cases like a clot dislodgment risk or pulmonary embolism, we offer immediate interventions.
Precision Medicine
At Curis Life, we integrate precision medicine to tailor treatment based on your genetics, health history, and lifestyle. This helps us choose the most effective medication, dose, and preventive strategy — especially important in managing hypercoagulable states and post-thrombotic recovery.
DVT Prevention After Surgery and Long Travel
We help patients prevent DVT through:
- Early mobilization post-surgery
- Use of compression stockings
- Preventive medications if needed
- Education on DVT risk factors during long flights or bedrest
Our approach is proactive and education-focused to reduce repeat occurrences and complications like post-thrombotic syndrome.
