Thrombectomy is the mechanical removal of blood clots in the arteries or veins throughout the body. This minimally-invasive procedure offers a powerful alternative to medications and medical management for certain patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke or heart attack. Michael Dayan, MD, vascular and interventional radiologist at Mather Hospital, breaks down the different types of thrombectomy, the benefits of the procedure and what patients can expect during and after thrombectomy. • Chapters • 0:00 Opening • 0:01 Intro • 0:06 What is thrombectomy? • 0:20 Why would someone need a thrombectomy? • 1:17 Types of thrombectomy • 2:00 Risk factors for blood clots • 2:24 Benefits of thrombectomy • 3:16 What to expect after thrombectomy • Northwell Health is New York State’s largest health care provider and private employer, with 21 hospitals, 850+ ambulatory facilities, and more than 18,500 affiliated physicians. • We care for over two million people annually in the New York metro area and beyond, thanks to philanthropic support from our communities.
