Venous diseases, including Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), affect millions of individuals worldwide and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. At the forefront of vascular care, Dr. Palkesh Agrawal offers advanced, patient-centred management for all types of venous disorders, ensuring effective treatment and improved quality of life.
Understanding Venous Disease and DVT
Venous disease encompasses a group of conditions that occur when veins become diseased or damaged, most commonly in the legs. When the veins fail to return blood effectively to the heart, it leads to venous insufficiency. This can manifest as:
- Varicose veins
- Leg swelling
- Skin changes or ulcers
- Blood clots, including Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Deep Vein Thrombosis is a condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein, typically in the lower extremities. If the clot dislodges, it can travel to the lungs, resulting in a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism (PE).
Symptoms to Watch Out For
If you notice any of the following signs, it’s essential to consult a vascular expert like Dr. Agrawal:
- Swelling in one leg
- Pain or tenderness in the leg, especially when standing or walking
- Warmth or redness over the affected area
- Visible, bulging veins
Early detection and treatment are key to preventing complications.
Comprehensive Diagnosis
Dr. Palkesh Agrawal employs advanced diagnostic tools such as:
- Venous Doppler ultrasound to visualise blood flow and locate clots
- D-dimer tests to detect clotting abnormalities
- CT or MR Venography for complex cases
These tools help confirm the presence of DVT and assess the extent of venous disease, allowing for tailored treatment planning.
Individualised Treatment Plans
Dr. Agrawal believes in a personalised approach to care. Treatment options for venous disease and DVT include:
1. Medical Management
- Anticoagulants (blood thinners) to prevent clot growth and new clots from forming
- Compression therapy to reduce swelling and support vein function
2. Minimally Invasive Procedures
- Catheter-directed thrombolysis, where medication is delivered directly to dissolve the clot
- Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency
3. Surgical Interventions
In complex or recurrent cases, Dr. Agrawal may perform venous bypass or vein stripping to restore healthy circulation.
