Deep venous thrombosis is a serious condition that involves the formation of a blood clot inside of a deep vein usually in the legs. A patient with DVT is typically treated with anticoagulants (blood thinners); however, researchers have found that image-guided interventional radiology procedures may play a more central role in the long-term treatment of DVT, according to a new study.
