A blood clot forming in one of the deep veins in the body, usually in the legs, is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Deep Vein Disease Experts
Disorders within the deep venous system often include deep vein thrombosis, as well as obstruction of the vein from scar tissue or compression. This includes conditions of DVT, May-Thurner syndrome, and non-thrombotic occlusions. Unfortunately, less experienced vein clinics commonly overlook deep vein disease due to the increased expertise needed. At Vein Specialist Centers, our vein doctors are double-board-certified vascular surgeons specializing in superficial and deep vein diseases.

What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis?
Common signs of deep vein disease include unresolved leg swelling, a history of blood clots, and pelvic discomfort. Deep vein thrombosis can happen due to age, prolonged periods of sitting, pregnancy, obesity, underlying health issues, blood disorders, and recent injury to a vein. Innovative deep-vein thrombosis treatments are available for those suffering from deep vein disease. At Vein Specialist Centers, we have the expertise to help manage this serious condition. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly, as DVT can be a serious condition that requires immediate treatment.
Diagnosing DVT
A qualified vein doctor performs a physical examination and will ask you for a complete medical history while noting your symptoms and the appearance of your legs. Our vein specialist will confirm any suspicions of DVT with an ultrasound, review the results with you, and discuss the best treatment options based on your individual needs and goals.
Deep Vein Thrombosis Treatments
Treatments for deep vein thrombosis depend on the severity of the deep vein disease. The most common treatment is anticoagulants or blood thinners. There are also newer treatments for acute DVT that can be performed if done early. A minimally invasive treatment that is gaining popularity is mechanical pharmacolysis or thrombolysis, which is the use of special catheters to inject drugs to dissolve the blood clot.
If there is compression or narrowing of the vein, then angioplasty or stenting of the diseased segment is preferred. This is performed in cases such as May-Thurner syndrome, non-thrombotic iliac vein occlusions (NIVL), and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). If you think you are suffering from deep vein disease or deep vein thrombosis, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our vein specialists in NJ and NY.
