Deep Vein Thrombosis & Varicose Veins Treatment: Fast Recovery Solutions with Interventional Radiology in Hyderabad
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Varicose Veins are two of the most common vascular conditions affecting patients in Hyderabad today. Long work hours, sedentary lifestyles, and genetic factors all increase the risk. Thanks to Interventional Radiology (IR), treatments are now safer, faster, and minimally invasive. Under the expertise of Dr. Nagateja, Interventional Radiologist at Clinic Seven, Hyderabad, patients benefit from advanced pinhole procedures that ensure quick recovery and long-term relief.
Understanding the Difference: DVT vs Varicose Veins
Although both conditions affect the veins, DVT and Varicose Veins are very different in severity. Varicose Veins are enlarged, twisted veins that cause pain, heaviness, and swelling. They are uncomfortable but not immediately dangerous. In contrast, DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg, and can lead to a life-threatening pulmonary embolism if untreated.
Interventional Radiology offers tailored treatments for both conditions with high precision. By avoiding open surgery, patients in Hyderabad experience reduced pain, minimal scarring, and an overall smoother recovery.
How Interventional Radiology Treats Varicose Veins
1. Laser Ablation (EVLA)
Endovenous Laser Ablation seals abnormal veins using controlled laser energy. A tiny catheter is inserted into the vein through a pinhole in the skin, ensuring minimal discomfort. This procedure effectively reduces symptoms such as heaviness, swelling, and leg cramps.
Most patients walk out of the clinic the same day and resume normal activities within 24 hours. Because it avoids surgical cuts and stitches, infection risk is extremely low.
2. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
RFA is another popular technique that uses heat energy to close problematic veins. It is especially beneficial for patients with sensitivity to laser treatments. The result is improved blood flow and relief from long-standing symptoms.
Hyderabad patients prefer RFA for its comfort and predictable outcomes. Compression stockings may be recommended for a short period to enhance recovery.
3. Sclerotherapy
Ideal for smaller or residual veins, sclerotherapy involves injecting a safe solution into the affected veins. This causes the veins to shrink and gradually fade. It is a quick outpatient procedure with minimal downtime.
Many people combine sclerotherapy with EVLA or RFA for a comprehensive, cosmetic, and medical improvement of their leg veins.
Treating Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Through Interventional Radiology
1. Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis (CDT)
CDT is a targeted therapy where medication is delivered directly into the clot through a thin catheter. This dissolves the clot safely and prevents long-term complications such as post-thrombotic syndrome.
Because the treatment is image-guided, precision is high, and the risk of surrounding tissue damage is low. Patients experience relief from leg swelling and pain soon after treatment.
2. Mechanical Thrombectomy
For large or stubborn clots, IR specialists use advanced devices to break and remove the clot. This allows immediate restoration of blood flow and prevents life-threatening complications.
Mechanical thrombectomy is a lifesaving option for patients who cannot take clot-dissolving medications. Recovery is fast and typically requires shorter hospital stay.
3. Venous Stenting
Sometimes, narrow or compressed veins cause recurrent clot formation. Venous stenting helps keep the vein open and allows healthy circulation. This prevents further clotting and significantly reduces leg symptoms.
Stenting is minimally invasive and performed under imaging guidance. Most patients can resume light activity within a day.
Benefits of IR-Based Treatments for DVT & Varicose Veins
Interventional Radiology is preferred in Hyderabad because it offers:
- Pinhole access instead of large surgical cuts
- Minimal pain during and after treatment
- Fewer complications such as infection or scarring
- Day-care procedures with early discharge
- Faster return to normal work and routine activities
These advantages make IR the ideal solution for working professionals, elderly patients, and those seeking safe, effective vascular care.
