Recent advances in technology have revolutionized the treatment of DVT. Instead of simply thinning blood to prevent more clot from forming, the new treatments directly dissolve and/or remove the clots in the veins. Patients' symptoms are rapidly improved, and the long-term outcomes are much better, with less pain and swelling in the future. These treatments are most frequently utilized for DVT in the lower extremities, but are also very effective for DVT in the arms.
