EMBOLECTOMY PROCEDURE Presentation
EMBOLECTOMY SURGERY TRADITIONAL OPEN HEART SURGERY IS USED TO REMOVE THE BLOOD CLOT FROM THE AFFLICTED ARTERY OR VEIN. YOUR SURGEON WILL ACCESS THE DAMAGED BLOOD VESSEL AND REMOVE THE CLOT AFTER SEPARATING THE BREASTBONE (STERNOTOMY).
WHAT TO ANTICIPATE DURING THE PROCESS? A THROMBECTOMY NORMALLY TAKES 1 TO 2 HOURS, BUT PREPARATION AND RECOVERY CAN TAKE SEVERAL HOURS LONGER. THE OPERATION IS OFTEN PERFORMED IN A CATHETERIZATION LAB. CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT THE SPECIFICS OF YOUR PROCEDURE.
AN EMBOLECTOMY RECOVERY TIME MIGHT RANGE FROM WEEKS TO MONTHS. TO PREVENT NEW CLOTS FROM DEVELOPING, YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE BLOOD-THINNING MEDICATION. YOUR SURGEON WILL ADVISE YOU ON HOW LONG YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS MEDICATION. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR SYMPTOMS OF A NEW CLOT FORMING.
