Treatment depends on the kind of blood clot causing the problem.
Treatment for Arterial Blood Clots includes:
- aspirin and clopidogrel (oral antiplatelet agents)
- intravenous antiplatelet agents
- heparin (a blood thinner and anticoagulant)
- clot busters (thrombolytic agents)
In addition to medications, special interventional catheters may be used to remove or compress these arterial clots.
Treatment for venous blood clots is primarily medication.
