2Surgery
In severe cases when medications aren’t enough to eliminate blood clots in the leg, you might need surgery to dissolve or eliminate the condition. One of the most common options is thrombectomy, which is simply the removal of the clot itself. This is usually performed with thrombolysis. Cardiac catheterization is another way to locate blood spots. Your doctor will insert a balloon to open the blockage, then put a stent to keep the vessels open. This will help to break the clots into small pieces, thus restoring the blood flows. [2]
