I'm writing this for the next patient searching for answers. I'm not a surgeon, a doctor or a radiologist. I am currently in my 5th week suffering from Chronic DVTs and have 5 blocked veins from a fall on the ice and I cannot walk without crutches. No broken bones or torn ligaments. I've have lots of time to read and familiar myself with my condition. What wasn't mentioned in this video was chronic DVT. Chronic means the clot as changed from acute (soft and flexible) to Chronic (harder and stiffer). Starts hardening ~7days after the clot forms. Obviously each case is different, and I am not a doctor, but surgery is better in the first weeks then later. Sucking out jello is easier then a gummy bear. Your veins will scar over time with the stretching of a chronic dvt and will lead to PTS (Post thrombolysis syndrome) aka chronic pain for the rest of your life. No research stating PTS won't be there with surgery or without. Only your body. I was told it could take a month to 6 months for "the body to dissolve the clots on their own" But I was never given the option for surgery until I starting doing some research. Also was told not to have compression stockings. And I'm finding that different doctors use different treatments for their patients. I can say if you are having a hard time moving around get some custom stocking (they need to measure you, and 20-30 compression is what I received) With the stockings now I'm able to have more mobility and less time with my leg elevated. I made the decision to get the surgery, with the inari clotretriever system. As even after a month of this, I'm done, I can't imagine 2 years with some of the patients cases I'm reading. When I was in the hospital, there were two others with DVTs. Old lady and her foot was swollen and could move around, the other was a men who just had knee surgery. Their vascular ultrasound report showed 4(male) 2(female) veins blocked, mine was 6! (1 has dissolved since) Again I'm not a surgeon, a doctor or a radiologist. Form your own conclusion with your doctor(s).

Hi. If you still have symptoms of post thrombotic syndrome, yes it may be treatable.
