Other Procedures
Surgical Removal of the Blood Clot (mechanical thrombectomy)
It is used only in severe extensive cases and needs significant surgical expertise.
Inferior Vena Cava Filter
In some patients who had multiple pulmonary embolism who are not responsive to anticoagulants or who cannot tolerate them, insertion of a filter into the largest vein in the body, the inferior vena cava, protects the lungs from the shower of blood clots coming from the legs.
