Coagulotomy

A coagulotomy is a medical procedure that is used to remove thrombi (blood clots) from blood vessels. It is carried out to restore normal blood flow and prevent serious complications such as heart attack and stroke.

Coagulotomy is based on the use of a special instrument - a thromboector. This instrument is inserted into the blood vessel through a catheter and reaches the site of the clot. The thromboector then captures the thrombus and removes it from the vessel.

Coagulotomy can be performed in a variety of blood vessels, including arteries and veins. This procedure is widely used to treat deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities, pulmonary embolism, cerebral vein thrombosis, and to restore blood flow after myocardial infarction.

Coagulotomy is a relatively safe procedure, but may be associated with some risks and complications. In some cases, bleeding, infection, or rupture of a blood vessel may occur.

Overall, coagulotomy is an effective treatment for thrombosis and can help prevent serious complications. However, like any other medical procedure, it should only be performed under the supervision of experienced professionals and after careful evaluation of indications and contraindications.

Coagulotomy is a surgical operation that involves cutting a thrombus or blood clot.

The term "coagulotomy" comes from the Latin word coagulum ("clot") and the Greek word "tome" ("incision").

Coagulotomy is usually performed for deep vein or arterial thrombosis to restore blood flow. During the operation, the surgeon makes an incision in the area of ​​the thrombosed vessel and removes the clot. This allows blood to circulate freely through the vessel again.

Coagulotomy can be performed either open or endovascular. In an open coagulotomy, the surgeon cuts through the skin and vessel wall to gain direct access to the clot. Endovascular coagulotomy uses special instruments that are inserted through a small incision and advanced through the vessel to the thrombus under X-ray control. Endovascular coagulotomy is less invasive.

Coagulotomy allows you to restore blood flow through the vessel and prevent the development of thromboembolic complications, such as pulmonary embolism. However, in some cases, additional anticoagulants may be required to prevent recurrent blood clots.
