What is catheter-directed thrombolysis and when is it used?

Catheter-directed thrombolysis is a procedure used to dissolve blood clots in deep veins, often in cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A vascular interventional radiologist inserts a catheter into the affected vein through a small incision or puncture, using imaging guidance to navigate to the clot.

A thrombolytic agent is then delivered through the catheter directly to the clot, which helps dissolve it. This method allows for targeted treatment of the clot, improving blood flow and reducing the risk of complications.

It is typically used for severe or life-threatening clots that do not respond to standard treatments, providing a more effective solution for managing DVT.
