Blood Clot Prognosis
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
A blood clot or thrombus can occur in both the arterial and venous blood vessels. A part of a clot can also break away form the main clot and travel to the lung or brain where it causes another blockage or embolism. The condition may be treated with anticoagulants or blood thinners, which decrease the clot’s ability to cause blockage as well as preventing its growth. Examples of the most commonly used anticoagulants include heparin and warfarin.
